As has been mentioned but to clarify I go on holiday with my Reader and take a new series to get into that I have tagged in order on LibPRS I open the collection and have 12 books in Random order and no way of knowing which to read first
To me Your tagging system is fantastic but if it doesnt put them in order on the reader it becomes a pointless addition.

I would have to change all my titles to be
"Funstories 1 - The title"
"Funstories 2 - The title"
etc

then just find them in book title on the reader.

I guess its such a critical one because I love your software! I am on a MAC! and love my reader! and yes I have to have things in order...its a disease

Critical would be a slight overstatement for me, but it would be super-cool if series-number provided ordering. And even better if you produced collections from the series info without the need to add additional tags. It's not a huge deal for me, as I generally remember the order of the series I'm interested in -- I even get it right much of the time.. But my wife complains that she not only forgets which book is next, but also which book goes with which series. And it sure seems like a pity to have to add a tag that matches the series info I've already entered.

On the other hand, you've provided a ton of cool features and useful stuff, so I won't start in on the "are we there yet?" thing. I'll just tell you to "get right on it " instead.

Hmm well in the face of so much passion, what can I say...I'll get it done ;-)

You are a wonderful person, thankyou.

I think to get such a product with the support you offer for just £10 english pounds is a bargain! and that is why I will be donating that sum to support further development (or if you want to buy yourself something nice thats fine too)

Thanks again.

Kovid,
To say that your work is well appreciated would be an understatement!!! Great is the word that come to mind.

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.

Hello everybody,

Ive got a new 505, in my firsts steps trying to convert some documents with the exceptional software from Kovidgoyal LIBPRS-500, i`ve encountered a problem converting a RTF to LRF some spanish accents characters,and others has been lost. No problems seems to be with Pdfs.

Any body knows what im doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

Juan.

Sorry for my bad English.

P.D. Kovid`s Soft is better than Sony`s Soft.

You will have to embed fonts to see non English characters.

When I convert html to lrf with html2lrf it makes some of the paragraphs typeset in bold. It is really strange because there is nothing in these paragraphs that distingushes them from others. All start with <p> and have no markup inside.

Is there a workaround?

[kovidgoyal]

Can you attach either the original file or a test case.

[nsg]

Sent to hotmail account in public profile.

text is mostly utf-8 encoded.
I have noticed that bold paragraph happen right before <h2> tag.
I also have not tried it with reader, just with lrfviewer.

[nsg]

Just ried it with reader -- same thing. So it is not lrfviewer issue.

[nsg]

Ok, the problem with bold paragraphs was because paragraph was not closed with </p>

I am a real novice. I have the 505. I bought a book in MS lit form and downloaded the lrf2lit software. I tried to convert and this is the error I received. Can anyone help me?

That's a DRMed LIT file. You have to use the convertlit software to first remove the DRM.

Installing libprs500 yesterday, it requested an uninstall of Windows driver for the 500. After install, I started libprs500, but it didn't see the reader. I let windows prompt that it saw new hardware, then let it auto search and install, and libprs500 then saw the reader, and everything worked smoothly. Later, I opened up the Connect software, to go to the online store, and was prompted to get latest version (when I let windows do it's thing, automatically, apparently I wound up behind the times, but functional). I assume I can let it upgrade to latest, without disturbing libprs500 functionality? Can you alternately go back and forth between Sony's library software, and libprs500, and have both see the reader? Currently, libprs500 works, and the Sony software works, except that it doesn't see the reader.
Don't know of a reason, offhand, to want both working ... just curious.
Different question. I didn't see offhand where the books I brought into libprs500 were stored, and didn't see any way to specify where I wanted them stored. After converting, and moving to the reader, I saved them to my G: partition, then deleted them from libprs500, in hopes this would clean up any excess files it might be saving somewhere on the C drive. I like to keep my C partition as clean as possible - OS, and essential programs, and relegate games, downloads, and assorted data files to other partitions. Makes cleanup, defrags, and backups of my critical stuff easy and quick, and keeps my bootups extremely quick ... so I'm willing to do it much more frequently. Is there some way to config the target directory? Am I missing the blindingly obvious location it is saving converted files to, after I hit the convert button?
If my workaround is the best I can do, that's fine, but wanted to check. Thanks for the splendid tool. Hard to feel much in the way of early adopter angst when you go and make things so darn easy, blast it.
