Re: RS 7 pdf usermanual and reference to read on an e-book

Are there that many significant differences between v6 and v7?  The current pdf 
manual (in the Download section) is quite adequate for my needs at the moment!

Of course you can always buy anti-gloss sheets. I use one on my N800
and it's great, except that it casts a faint rainbow effect to all
white areas. I'm not sure, but I think the rainbow effect might be
less visible on an ebook reader than it is on LCD displays. But
anyway, that's a small price to pay for a screen that's crystal clear
in any lighting.

Still waiting for 3D demos made for ebook readers ;-)

I did not noticed the gloss until you mentioned it.
It's probably to protect the e-ink from the touch screen.
Anyway it's not a problem at all, I have used it in direct sunlight, 
dark place like my bedroom, office etc


But if you have never experienced electronic ink, you shold go check it 
for real.
It's weird the first time, it look like a picture of an lcd screen but 
at an extreme resolution.
It's good for reading the electronic newspapers, direct download to the 
e-book and Voila!

Hmm... I think I truly must see it first, because reviews are saying
it has semi-glossy display, which is an absolute no for an ebook
reader.

But yes, Realsoft should export the manual to PDF.

Yes it does, and unlike the prs300 it support PDF zoom and pan without 
reformating.
You can also change the font size and autoreformat the pdf, but this 
time it will display images correctly.

You can also zoom and pan pictures.
Works perfectly on my Linux and to my surprise the sound quality is 
really impressive.


I bought the prs-300 for my mom and it was perfect but there was no way 
to zoom pdf without changing the format of the pages.


The best way to convert documents is with Calibre on Linux.

All my .pdf books related to 3D are on it but RS (waiting for PDF or .epub).


The sony e-reader are all running under Linux, but it can brick easily 
if you copy or delete files without waiting on your computer with the 
usb cable. In that case reset without the usb cable, power again and 
quickly plug the usb cable then format the memory in fat32.
It happened when moving multiple files and also if you put your books 
inside too much folders.


Anyway, sony e-book reader is the best because it is Open, no 
Applestorebullshit, no Amazoneslavery etc...

It read any format and can be managed like a regular usb key.
This thing is a must see and a must buy.

Shouldn't PRS-600 support PDF? Or is the support still work-in-progress?

How is that thing anyway? The specifications look quite impressive.

I need it for my sony prs600 e-book.
Better would be in .epub

It's about time people start thinking about e-books or e-pad
My printer went dry, so I invested in an ebook.
Like that no more hesitation to print webpages or books.
