Bebook question
How does the bebook compare with reading manga? (japanse comic)?
Also after the dr1000S battery drama, how does the battery last? and can you replacement the battery by yourself? |

As for the battery, it's a standard Nokia battery - Nokia BL-4C if memory serves me correctly. |

The Hanlin is the worst reader you can buy for images.
Usually images look horrible because there are only 2 shades of grey on top of black and white. |

The EZ Reader manual mentions (pg 31) that the contrast and brightness can be adjusted when browsing images. This is a capability unique to the Hanlin so far as I know. I have never tried this, does it help? |

To optimise images, you really need to create them in 4 gray shades & dithered before you try to display them.

If you use a decent graphics package to "dither" the images, they can look very good, even on a 4 grey-scale device. |

The worst with the Cybook.
I do not have the time to dither every image that can appear in all the books I have. With a better screen there is no need to waste one's time dithering images in many books. Wasting time is bad. On the other hand the Hanlin supports many file formats, which helps waste less time changing the format of unsupported files. |

Interesting! Of the two books with pictures I checked yesterday, both transferred through mobireader, one had well dithered images, while the other ended up with far too white pictures. In both cases MobiReader made the pictures too small though.
This wikipedia article is a good read to understand dithering: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dithering |
