Chapter selection ? You mean that the TOC of the book is available in the UI of the device directly ?

So how does one navigate in a book which doesn't have a table of contents?

Very, Very, slowly, I'm assuming...

I guess I was expecting something a bit more advanced. I may hold off on getting the cybook until I see a full, complete, review and maybe a software update.

HarryT,

Not that I've seen in beta release 0.91. From what I understand, we should be getting beta release 0.96 shortly. Right now there's a Back and Forward option on the pop-up menu, but I believe other choices will be forthcoming.

How do you navigate within a book on the CyBook? Is there a "goto page X" facility? As you may know, on the "standard" MobiPocket Reader there's a progress bar that one can simply tap with the mouse or stylus to move to that position. How is it done on this machine?

One pages through to the page one wants.

Of course, it's not that hard to make a TOC using Mobipocket Creator or BookDesigner. I recommend getting Mobipocket Creator and bookmarking this page at Mobipocket: http://www.mobipocket.com/dev/articl...eFolder=prcgen

Well... Don't tell anyone, Azayzel, but I've been slowly downloading the bitmaps to my machine and converting them into JPEGs. A couple of them are rather large, so I've been cutting across frame breaks to get them to a decent size per frame and I'm creating a PDF version of it - formatted for my Cybook's screen in Landscape mode - to have as a sample of what the Cybook can do. Note that I'm not doing any color-to-grayscale conversion on the images, just changing from BMP to JPG. I think the grayscale rendering done by the Cybook - and my Sony PRS-500 - is pretty darned good!

Hamh,

Don't know yet? Do you have an ebook, Mobipocket format, which has Chinese TrueType fonts? If so, post it and I'll give it a try. I'll take pictures of the results.

Btw, is there/will there be folder support and navigation on the Cybook? Not being able to sort my books in folders is one (small) reason I stay away from the Sony Reader.

Well it's a UMS device, I don't see any reason they shouldn't have folder support...

I thought Sony's PRS-500 supported 'collections' on it? Waitaminit... yep, got mine set up with collections for paranormal mysteries and one for sf.

Of course, that doesn't make a bit of difference because it CAN'T USE COLLECTIONS ON THE FREAKIN' SD CARD!!!!

IOW, 'folders' work just great ON THE PRS-500, but not on the SD card! D'Oh! And, of course, the device can handle about 80 ebooks max. Wow!

Yeah, not one of the better decisions by Sony for their 500 model. Don't know if the 505 will support folders and collections on the SD card.

And, unfortunately, I don't know if the Cybook will. I presume so, but my current one doesn't - yet. This could be in there in next week's firmware update - or not.
