Do not use multi-page TIFFs in the IMGLIST format, use the TIFF support directly (Input Type TIFF in the GUI or command line option -i tiff). This will explode the multi-page TIFF and convert it directly. Note that it assumes the TIFF is at 300dpi, or else you may want to turn off dilation (as dilation is good at higher DPIs).

The only issue with Just Another Printer is that it does not have batch processing capability. If we can integrate some advantages of JAP into PDFRead, I believe we are going to find a final solution for reading A5 sized tif(f) image files on the Sony Reader.

The solution already exists! I must not have advertised the features enough, because both you and Azayel were asking me about things already added in 1.6.
About 1.8, I may not be able to work on it for a week or two as I am currently travelling out of the country. The features I've already added are:
- add the landscape-third and portrait-2col modes (actually can now
support NxN splitting)
- add support for color processing
But I haven't had time to release it yet. I'm delaying my image reflowing to 2.0, as it will take quite a bit of time. There's a commercial implementation of it called
UbiText, I am studying it and trying to come up with something.
