Sorry if these have been asked ad nauseum, but I've spent a fair it of time looking and literally have come up with no answers. Mayb'e i'm just a terrible reader (which would make having a PRS300 a waste of time, no?)
anyways.
1. What formats can the PRS300 use? I had a friend give me a set of ebooks, the entire Hugo award winnign library. Some are .htm, some are .lit, some are .txt. I know that the 300 can handle PDF and ePub, but what about the others?
2. If it can't handle the htm's or txt's, what would you reccommend to format them? Should I just take this question to the formatting lounge? Probably, but I like to get a broad opinion. (I'll probably ask this over there too). Right now I'm thinking of using Calibre to convert the htm's/txt's to ePub, then using Sigil (I'm running OSX, but could use a PC if I got off my couch) to do any cleanups that need to be done.
3. From the main page, lets say i have 20 books. 7 are by JK Rowling (Couldn't help myself
), 5 are by Stephen King, the rest are by various authors. I know if i press the browse by book setting, it lists the books alphabetically, which is fine and dandy. What I want to know is if there is a way so that when I hit browse by author, I see something like this:
JK Rowling >>>>>> 0
Stephen King >>>>>1
Asimov >>>>>>>>>2
so that I can choose an author, select them, then see all their books, instead of seeing all the books just sorted by author. I'm only asking because there are around 60 books on my reader, and scrolling down through them takes forever. Is there a page down button i'm missing?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm a nub. I know. :P
