oops!
Yea, I've been working on my .mac account, but some work issues have delayed me getting that back up. I do actually have the original pages and will re-post them sometime in the next couple of days. Sorry about that! |

Bookdesigner 4.0 (http://www.freesoft.ru/?id=6957). Quirky but it does the job for me with public domain prc's.

I get an alert when going to that page. It tries to run an exploit on IE. Could an admin please remove that link.
Thanks |

Hi,
Sorry to hear that and feel free to delete the link and google for BookDesigner by yourself. I have been using that software downloaded from there for many months on and off and I find it quirky but useful (true I use Mozilla not IE but I tried with my IE and I saw nothing strange and I run firewall, antivirus, antispy...but always you can miss something...) For me BookDesigner has 3 features that are useful: it opens prc's for conversion (I do not buy drm so I have only public domain prc's from www.ebooksgratuits.com/ebooks.php), it makes fb2 books, and it opens kml books which are very useful when building a book from many files with the free kml builder.

Graphics support
Hi there!
I would like to buy Graphics supporteb-1150 but I would like to clarify some details before I do it. I will mainly use the pdf datasheets on this device. These files contain not only text but also graphics(charts, tables and mechanical drawings. Adobe PDF can be translated to html format with graphics, but it's unclear for me whether this device is capable of displaying graphical objects. If positive than the next question is whether it's possible to use zoom function? Did anyone tried to read a file with graphics on eb-1150. |

It can display images. If you're not sure about getting it, here's a good test - go download the eBookwise Librarian software (Google it) and try importing an HTML file. There is an option to view the book (just double click on it) after its converted. It shows you what teh ebook would show you - if it shows you the images, you're good to go.

hey guys... ive found this forum in my search for a good ebook reader device. the ebookwise does look good. however... im interested in reading new books. not classics. these often only seem available in pdf or ms reader. plus, ive got many books already on my pc in these formats and wanted to read them on a portable unit. so... guess im out of luck unless i go with a pda or pocket pc huh.. seems kinda foolish that a dedicated ebook reader doesnt support the main ebook formats.
how supported will the ebookwise format be... will almost all new novels be available or only best sellers... |

Tough call. I'm pretty dissapointed with industry support of ebooks in general - not every book is available in lit/pdf, and those that are have prices similar to their print forms.
The 1150 shines with personal content, but does lack w/ commercial titles. I find myself still buying print books because many aren't released as ebooks at all. I mostly bought mine for personal content. |

For image-intensive PDFs I use a tablet; some early Acer and NEC LitePad models can be had on eBay for less than $1,000. |

Changing bookshelf settings
I thought this was extremely limiting, too.
Then I took a shot, and simply tried typing in my own bookshelf/category headings -- and it worked just fine. In addition, the new headings become available as choices for subsequent titles. Hope this helps. |

Could you actually change catagories for books you purchased from them? That's my problem. It is easy to change your own books but purchased books seems impossible.
