html -> sony with hyperlinks

picker · 09-30-2007, 11:45 AM

I'm trying to prepare collection of 28,563 images http://rob.com/airports/apts.html for either the new sony or bookeen reader but as a html guy I'm confused to the file format required for readers.

It looks like the sony requires a "lrf" file but using libprs500 seems to strip all the hyperlinks.

I don't mind writting code in "lrf" directly (to make TOC like hyperlinks) if someone could point me to a file format definition.

What's the recommended way to eRead hyperlinks?

Try running html2lrf (that's the actual conversion tool that Libprs500 uses) using a command line. It gives you more options to control links. However if you use the command line, your links should work by default.

I also found that the conversion stripped links when I used it via the gui. Not sure why.

Run html2lrf --verbose to see why the links are being skipped.
