![]() Hopefully they'll put in more features this time. Personally, I'm hoping for better font support. I reformat most of my ebooks into PDFs just so that I can set the font. I don't have much use for bookmarks, but lots of people have been asking them about it in the past, so hopefully that'll be in there too. I don't think we're going to know until they release it though. I tried to get them to drop a hint about whether the new framework will be part of the next software release, or if it's still going to be down the road a while, but didn't get a response. |

Mobipocket is one of the big reasons that I chose iLiad, but the lookup function is so poor comparing with the version on my Nokia N70

Yes, absolutely true for sure, the lookup function IS poor. But the MAIN function of an ebook reading device (which still IS book reading) is light years ahead on an iLiad compared to cell phones, PDAs etc. (and even competing eInk devices)
So let's primarily be happy with the tremendous advantage of the iLiad (768x1024x16 on 8" !!!) and only secondarily grumpy with all the disadvantages that (easily, granted) come to mind... ![]() Nonetheless iRex HAS to do something regarding the mobipocket functionality and the sooner the better! ![]() Cheers, - Don [:-] |

Hm, well, actually I do.
![]() That is, I care about support for a format that offers contemporary literature in a legal way. And I don't mind if it's called mobipocket, ereader, PDF, whatnot - but my iLiad should be able to display current books in an easy-to-use, luxurious way. ![]() Cheers, - Don [:-] Last edited by DonRobodroid; 06-21-2008 at 03:04 PM. |

iRex has been claiming they were working on some new "mother of all viewers" for over a year now. Frankly, I'll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile, I'm grateful for FBreader, because the built-in readers are not very usable IMHO.

So do I. It was primarily for Mobi support that I bought my iLiad, and the deficiencies in the implementation on the iLiad were the main factor that made me regretfully decide to sell it again.
It should be pointed out, however, that a lack of "search" facilities is not unique to the iLiad. The Mobi Reader on the CyBook Gen3, although hugely better than that of the iLiad, is also lacking a "search" capability. |

I don't know if its aproperiate place to put it here, but I want a toolkit with which I can develop applications that will run well & look cool on the iLiad and the PC.
