1. if you used some program to automatically go through all your files and convert them to LRF, You didnt gain anything by doing this because the formattings all the same. so it would be just as easy to do the same thing to another format, but this is kinda Silly to do since it just wastes space. 2. if you used book designer, and Created Chapter Titles, Tocs, Etc, you should Have Created a BD HTML0 file before doing a New book. that way you can just load up the HTML0 file, and import it to a new format. |

![]() I'm remembering waaaaay back in spring of '06, when the original e-ink devices were scheduled to come out in May. Sony and iRex (I'm not sure about HanLin) had demo'd functional readers in various places. All three (including HanLin, I mean) were scheduled for ~May of '06 (I think Sony just said "spring"), and not a single one of them made it. The closest was iRex, who let themselves be brow-beaten (mostly by us here ![]() Back then, it came down to the miserable, non-negotiable fact that brand-new technologies can't always be "scheduled" properly, curse them. ![]() Plastic Logic's displays are something new all over again. Yes, they are visually very similar to e-ink, but they're not e-ink, so the new-tech slide-back effects are very much a factor. That being said, I'm pretty interested by what I've seen so far, sure WinCE has its ... issues, but it also comes with some pretty wide-reaching compatibility built right in at the foundation. It's going to be interesting to watch this one play out. ![]() |

e-ink
Natch, according to the Plastic Logic web site, "The reader incorporates E Ink technology for great readability and features low power consumption and long battery life." So this reader is e-ink, just without the glass substrate.

![]() Still, the different substrate, and the touch screen interface -- which seems to be rather different than what's on the PRS700 -- will impose some unpredictable sliding. Hopefully, the fact that they're using e-ink will help limit that though. ![]() |

A tough plastic, would be nice indeed.
I like the PRS 505's looks. The light reflection (of eg: sun) is rather small. I only fear plastic screens ill be prone to scratches. It would be nice to see some salesperson selling plastic screen covers, and having a device with a removable plastic screen. |
