Newspaper that's *almost* readable on the Sony Reader
Over on the iLiad board, I read about the A4-sized version of the Telegraph in pdf format. It's pretty cool and free to download here...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...ws/pm/ixpm.xml Trouble is, the body type on the Telegraph's downloadable pdfs is too small to make out on the Sony Reader. (It's close, but not quite there.) Has anyone seen a designed newspaper that is truly readable on the Reader? Last edited by neilm2; 12-17-2006 at 10:32 PM. |

Thanks, Alex! That works great in small-type mode with the rotated the screen. I'm curious, how did you do the pdf to bbeb conversion?

O.K., I'll keep an eye out for it in the developer's forum. Thanks!

ok, 1.0 beta 1 is posted in the orig thread (which i should've put under the dev forum). I'll make a new thread in the content forum when i'm confident there aren't any bugs.

Glad you like it. If you're looking for more newspapers to read, demonoid.com also has the latest economists (my personal favorite).
