Addition of a book upload category?

TadW · 05-05-2007, 11:33 AM

Now that there is finally a decent way to read e-books on the iLiad, what do you think about the addition of a upload category similar to the Sony uploads? It could serve as a place to share carefully created e-books in Mobipocket format.

I like the idea.

Also, I think that those of us who have older readers would appreciate posting of the OPF or HTML source, as those can easily be converted to anything.

Now that tools for html -> lrf conversion are now available, I think it'd be cool if someone could just take the HTML sources, and a tool was available that would generate ebooks for all available formats. ie HTML -> LRF, MOBI, IMP, RB in one step.

MOBI would also prepare for the Amazon Kindle. By the way, HTML to OEB would be enough for FBReader (MOBI would also work, but OEB books are automatically added to FBReader's library).
