I guess in this thread I will completely drop any questions on image manipulation and focus on the important features at hand. I am looking for a solution that will allow me to take advantage of:
  • A table of contents
  • Font resizing
  • inline images

It would be nice if it was an xml based format, but as long as it is human readable or has a non-compiled format Ill be happy.

The fb2 format seems to have all these features, however its TOTAL lack of page formating suggestions (i cant say push small images to the left and wrap text around them) is a little troubling to me. The other problem I have run into with the fb2 format is that most of the documentation and programs that support it are in a language I can not read with any level of fluency. If there is someone out there who has a V3, and uses fb2 books, could you tell me how it is implemented on the V3, is there a style sheet of some sort, or is the shape of the page hard coded?

This takes me back to ePub... even once jinke releases a development kit for the V3, to get compliant with the standard would be a huge pain!

It is possible that I could develop a format for my own personal use, and then convert it out to something more standard, but this also seems troublesome. So im still looking for the elegant solution.

Thank you so much for your input so far.
