Anyone willing to take Picture with my book on the screen ?

alexibm · 08-26-2007, 07:00 PM

Hi !
It might sound a little bit strange, but maybe someone will be willing to help me.

I am thinking about buying Reader, but I can't even find one to try.

Is anyone willing to take couple closeup pictures of Reader's screen with one .pdf book and one .jpeg on screen(it can't read .djvu so I have to convert to .jpeg)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

alexibm,
It is easy to take a photo of a JPG on the screen, but there are many PDFs out there that will give you a whole range of results. Can you upload something you would like to see displayed? I can do the photo if I know what you need.

Thanks to everyone who was kind to reply. I have received personal message from delphidb96 and he will take couple shots. I will post images

My hope - do as little reformatting as possible, since I will be flooded with books and many books come from official sources (like American Institute of Steel Construction)

Thanks

Thanks for Images
your stuff might look good, it is scanned material. I have no time to scan.

If you have a Borders store nearby, they have one on display that you can try.

I've been to a few different Borders stores in past few months, and they never seem to know what I'm talking about when I ask about the Sony Reader. Now that their sales exclusivity is over, have they stopped pushing it?

May be that's it. I saw one last month in one and that's how I ended up buying mine.
