I have been looking into the DRM on the eb1150 and near as I can tell it is based on encryption of the text and uses a code to decrypt it. You can submit OPF files for publication and then the code was added but it may have been that the only way it could be delivered encoded was via the online bookshelf. They still support the online bookshelf but no longer seem to have the DRM content. The online bookshelf differs from other sites selling in that it delivers expanded files directly to the device via USB or modem instead of the IMP container. It may be able to be in the IMP file but I cannot find any record of this in my research. Dale |

The eBookwise supports IMP, and ebookwise.com sells new fiction in this format. I think this meets the criteria for making IMP a "contemporary" DRM format. There is also an actively supported tool for managing DRM and non-DRM files for the eBw.
The device ships with memory. Many people never upgrade the memory that comes with their hardware. I see your point about SD cards no longer being made, but I don't think that on balance the eBw 1150 should be considered a "legacy" device just for this reason alone. |

If ETI is still manufacturing it, then the ETI-2 is not a legacy device.

I have just posted a book from BookDesigner in the RB format. Is this the format that you want? I thought that the ebw software used the IMP container and directly extracted from that to load in the device. Please check the file over and I will make any corrections I can. There was not an intent to slight.

Or 10 or 20. Depends on the font size used. I always used a nice, large font: it gave ten lines per screen landscape. Even bigger than the largest text size for non-image mode.

I have just followed this discussion, and I think we can agree that nobody gets hurt if we include an Ebookwise section due to popular demand. Should it eventually become abandoned we can always move it back to legacy
Please give me a day or two to arrange for the section. |

There's not a lot of point in doing image-imp instead of text-imp unless you change things, which for me means huge fonts. Or occasionally doing stories with non-Western-European characters that can't be done as text-imp. I don't use BookDesigner for text-imps, since you can't control the output font size, and I do all my conversions at the largest font size (and, with Publisher, don't even bother making a smaller-font alternate). One thing I do in Publisher that I wish I could get to match the way Librarian does it is the line separating the header and the text. In Librarian it's full-width. In Publisher it's two pixels shy of that, I don't know why.
