Indeed, I've spent the last few weeks since receiving my iLiad reworking the scripts I use to (re)format html and text files into ebooks for my old RocketBook to generate nicely formatted pdf's for my iLiad.
I lost a week or so trying to use html directly until giving up once I realized better looking (and better performing) results were possible using html2ps and ps2pdf. It's a pity the html support on the iLiad is so poor. I miss being able to dynamically resize to a larger font when my eyes get tired at night as with my reb1100.
But then the books started piling up on my iLiad and that triggered a reading binge -- I didn't realize how much I appreciated nicely formatted books until finally having a device capable of properly rendering them.
I fully expect to start developing and porting tools to the iLiad once an unbrick utility or procedure is available. I have a number of dictionaries and quizzing programs for my Hawaiian and Japanese studies I would love to bring over to the iLiad. But I'm already dependent enough on it in my daily routine that I don't want to face not having my iLiad for weeks should I screw something up while developing. I really hope iRex make available a mechanism for unbricking/reinstalling the OS soon!
