[Snappy!]

hey nice pic there! ... the mobileread page looks good on the iLiad too!

Hi everyone,
Henrycat: I guess you saved that page from mobileread, then transferred it to the iLiad. If you want to keep the images, then you need to specify 'save as...' then choose 'web page, complete' on the filetype dropdown (in Firefox that's the option name, in IE might be differently labeled but you can do it too). The reason is that images in the XHTML file are URLs that point to an online location (open the XHTML file with a text editor and search for '<img', you will know what I mean.
Using that save option, images will be downloaded to a folder and the XHTML file will be changed so images are no longer pointing to the internet, but to the newly created folder.
There are tools that will automatically download all or some of the pages and images from a site, called 'offline browsers' I think. I used one of these (offline explorer) like 5 years ago, when I had a slower connection, to browse interesting sites quickly (yep, 'those' sites too ). They would make a great add-on for the iLiad, probably creating a nice 'pseudo-browsing' experience. Since you can set filters for what pages you want off a site, you can, say, set a filter to get all posts from a mobileread forum page, then 'browse' it using the iLiad (I think it was Branko that said links on a PDF work for local files -ie files on the same disk as the document you are reading- so I guess that should work for XHTML as well, if not everything I said about offline browsers is void).
note that 'offline eplorer' was not free 5 years ago, and I haven't checked for free software of the kind ever since.

Hey, how's the touchscreen note taking application and the content delivery system/content on it? That's the most important bits!
