So it appears it is just scanned bitmaps, you're not doing OCR on them.
I wonder ... is there an image compression method taking advantage of
the subject being printed text?

we can construct anything, but pdf is the best for us-- we have
them built now.
the old revision of software used to play our pdf's (but crash
after a minute or so), but they dont run at all in the new release
(by clicking from the web browser). the "flip book" javascript
viewer works, but the pages should be one-up and rotated so they
fill the screen.
Here is an example book:

pdf is here:

thank you for the help.

What format is the book source in? HTML, PDF, bitmap?

thank you for the quick reply. we will be hacking something
tomorrow.
would you guess the quickest way to get a demo is browser/
javascript?
the other approach seems to be python GTK.
Any early guidance to keep us from a rathole would be appreciated.

Hi, Brewster,
This sort of question would normally go to the devel@laptop.org
list,
where the low level types hang out. I might discuss the
detailed UI
design on sugar@laptop.org, where the UI people tend to hang
out, and
this list for library related items themselves. At least that
would be
my take on it.
Yes, the buttons should work.
They appear to be keyboard keys.
I don't remember if we have X keysyms all hooked up for them this
instant or not, but it should be possible without much trouble:
we only
got rotation running very recently.
On the BTest-1 systems, holding multiple keys down at once may not
result in separate key events; this should be fixed in BTest-2.
Best regards,

We are trying to make a quick and dirty demo of a few images of
book pages showing up on the screen. tablet mode, we think,
will make the best demo. we would like to use the directional
buttons to flip between pages.
In preparation for a programmer working on this (sorry if this
is obvious) does anyone know if these buttons send a character
to the machine?
also, is this the right list for talking about book viewers?
