And latley I had not much free time so the developing is on idle for a wile.
About the license:
I do plan to release it under Gpl or othe Open License but till now i'm not sure of which license to choose (i'm open to suggestion). And before that i first want to complete the architecture of the software.
So if someone knows a good lib for resizing images that doesn't use JAI just let me know!

Well, i'm not too familiair with OS-licenses so no suggestions there.
I've been programming a C#-tool for myself yesterday to see how it works (and trying to get RAR-support too)
My folders contains either zipped, rarred or extracted images and are usually structured like this:
c:\death_note\vol01.zip, c:\death_note\vol02.zip, etc
My program works like this:
-Select a source folder (ex. c:\death_note)
-Extract/move the files to a temp-dir like c:\temp\vol01\ch01 c:\temp\vol01\ch02.
-I'm using imagemagick to filter, resize and convert the images to GIF*.
-The converted images are saved with the folder as prefix (so c:\processed\vol01\ch01_01.gif)
-Then i'm using itext to create the PDF. My initial idea would be to make the original zip-name the "chapter". So vol01 would be a chapter, vol02 the 2nd, etc.
-And finally use rasterfarian to convert the PDF to lrf (because I couldn't find the specs for lrf)
*Image quality: i played around iwth the filters of imagemagick and found out that these are the best for text and images: catrom,lanzcos and sinc.
(see attached post)
I'm still trying to figure itext out. Can you tell me what kind of settings you're using to to create the document and add the images? I can't seem to create the pages in the size you have....
(i'm still waiting for my reader, so I can't test for myself)
