Yes, memory cards are a possibility. The reason I don't use them for books is that it appears you can't organize the stuff on the card by collections. I tend to keep 100 or so books on the reader (just a preference). Another disadvantage is that the battery life is considerably shorter when reading from a card.
I wasn't really concerned about blurriness, in fact this is required for antialiasing. I wanted to eliminate dilation (and possibly resizing) because the low-vision fonts I use are already fat, and the extra dilation makes then merge too much.
Don't worry too much about these items, I am still searching for a way to handle text books with large low-vision fonts on the reader. So far I've tried:
- PDF with embedded fonts (works, as long as it's less than 200 pages or page turns get ridiculously long, and there is a hard 1000-page limit)
- PDF with conversion to graphics (slow conversion and large file sizes)
- BokkDesigner and embedded fonts (half works, but does not properly handle boldface and does not support left-justification and hyphenation). The result is poor readability with large fonts.
I am considering these as possible solutions:
- re-flashing the reader with better fonts and standardizing on RTF (main problem is getting good fonts that work with other books, and the lack of hyphenation).
- Trying to use Word to force hyphenation, then create hard page-breaks for left-justification. Hard to see how this can work as the font layout in Word and reader will probably differ.
