That's right, yes, a PDF interpreter does vector graphics.

Most (perhaps most) PDF textbooks, however, use scanned images for their illustrations, not vector graphics.
But I'm not talking about illustrations, I'm talking about equations. I typeset mine with LaTex, and output to PDF. I didn't think they were being displayed as graphics in the resulting PDF file, though I suppose they could be. I guess I was basing my assumptions on what I know about postscript code. Does PDF not have typesetting structures, then? (I guess I could try saving a PDF file with equations out as some other kind of text and see what I get.)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that basically everything in a PDF document is displayed "graphically". The PDF interpreter changes everything into a set of drawing instructions which are then "executed" by the print or display engine.

You need to be more precise when using "graphics", like nokokami said in her previous post (vector graphic or raster graphic).

Anyway, I also think that equations are set of vector graphics commands.

Thank you. That will be nice to have more info on the Gen3.

Guguy could you please take a photo of how a pdf look likes on a Cybook? In Norway there aren`t any ebook devices available for sale in the stores, so I don`t have the chance to look for my self.

According to Bookeen, the Gen3 won't be coming out with PDF support. That's not to say they won't be adding it in with a version of Digital Editions. But for now, it's a no go.

Jon,

I think you've misunderstood the French in the video. They do not say that PDF will not be supported; they say that (as we know) you can't properly display an A4/Letter PDF on a screen that small, and that they will be releasing another machine later with a larger screen which will be able to display such PDFs correctly.

Yes, they said that the initial software won't support PDF (this video is quite old though, they're still announcing a release date for July), but that PDF will be supported in the future.

If you have any trouble with an interview in french (Bookeen, Nemoptic or Mobipocket), please remember that there's a few french guys on this forum. We can help ;-)

In that case, mind dubbing an English track over the French track?

Actually, what I'd like to see is a video with up-to-date info now that we know some of the info before is obsolete and there might be new info.
