My current strategy is to extract the titles based on the formating from the Mobipocket file.

RWood - Thank you very much!

You are quite welcome.

By the bye, it might be nice to have the link to the editions list on the Mobileread Wiki as well:

RWood - What you did is awesome. What Font did you use on the Sony version? I'd like to use this font on the Mobipocket version on my Cybook. Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

That would be Dutch (Times) for most of the body copy and Swiss (Ariel) for most of the titles. The Sony internal fonts are from Bitstream and the Windows fonts are from Monotype. The cover font was Wilke from Adobe used in a JPEG image.

I guess I jumped into the middle somehow, just where do I download the HC?

HarryT · 11-22-2007, 02:34 PM

From the appropriate forum section - "BBeB Book Uploads" for the Sony Reader, "Mobi Book Uploads" for MobiPocket, etc.

There is a Master Index in the MobileRead Wiki. It has direct links to the threads for each volume in each format.

Very cool -- I've downloaded a couple already.

Requests I might make, to make the files easier to use:
- could the file names be more descriptive?
- could the titles be descriptive as well?

Unfortunately, with nearly 50 volumes, it's very difficult to browse on either the pc or the reader.

If you're just trying to browse on the PC, try this online web version... http://www.bartleby.com/hc/

This would be primarily for browsing on the reader.

If it were on the PC, I could just go to the wiki link on mobileread, though having to cross-ref like that's still not ideal.

HarryT · 12-09-2007, 06:52 AM

You can rename the files to whatever you wish, of course.

kfarmer · 12-09-2007, 06:56 AM

Which doesn't change the ToC info in the reader, right?

HarryT · 12-09-2007, 08:41 AM

Correct. But there are tools available for editing the file's metadata (which is what the Reader shows).
