I'm just looking to buy an ereader and was trying out the various recommended bits of software (ie calibre). I see you can view documents and you can also state what type of ereader you have in the convert process which is great. I just wondered whether it would be possible to alter the viewing facility so the popup window mimicked the device you've selected ie it looks a bit like a nook or a kindle etc. This would allow users to try out different ereaders and get a feel for what suits them. It's currently nearly impossible to try out all (actually any) of the current readers and it would make potential users feel more confident when making a purchase.
It doesn't need to be an exact copy but it would be good to implement the next page button, different fonts, the screen refresh rate, any flicker etc. I guess it also should only show documents that can be read by that type of reader.
Perhaps it might then be possible to get a kick back from the ereader suppliers.
PS I currently use a Nokia N800 to read ebooks but this isn't in your list of supported devices.
