I like the batch conversion very much. The computer just continues running to turn pdf files into lrf files without human attention and without error disruption.
Heh, if you really see the batch file it doesn't have much in it. That's the power of the command-line automation -- which I use in PDFRead internally, while doing the conversion.

The next concern I have is about the aspect ratio: how to enhance legibility while still efficiently utilizing reader screen space? i.e., adjusting the aspect ratio to split pages to meet the demand.
The screen display dimensions of the reader:
portrait: 4.54 x 3.47 in (115.4 x 88.2 mm), 754 x 584 pixels
landscape: 6.09 x 4.41 in (154.8 x 112 mm), 1012 x 784 pixels
That's something that I need ideas from people who actually use the reader -- I don't have one. Also, for the moment, I don't use the reader's landscape mode at all -- do you think I should add a profile for it? you can try how it looks by making a copy of the batch file you have, and modify the set OPT= line to
Code:
set OPT=-p prs500-l --rotate none --hres 784 --vres 1012
If that looks good, then I'll add that as a new profile.
