Do you plan some support for the ebooks formats (epub, mobipocket) ?
it depends, we have one here and it's slow and the screen is already degrading (although the quality is not that bad); it's a matter of paper sizes and margins, so that can already be done; hyperlinks are suppoorted too, but normally very slow on such devices; one problem is that they use part of the screen for buttons and such which kind of conflicts with stand alone documents that have their own interface;
Thank's for your answers Hans and Taco. I'm going to try to explain this in english… hum ;o) I'm in contact with François Bon who launch 3 month ago this : http://www.publie.net It's a publisher of contemporary texts. Since there's not a standard for numerical texts and lot of different devices (a tabular [1]) you can download various formats on this site : — pdf (landscape style for computers) ; — small pdf for ephone ; — mobipocket prc [2] ; — htm ; — xml. (I wich they use the epub openformat from idpf [3] too). They use something like adobe indisgn for this (and maybe other things for xml / html). The result is not so good (lack of nbsp !)… it's a lot of work. They do a lot « by hands ». For my point of view ConTeXt (or an xml format ?) is the solution : one low-level file and an automatisation process for all the other files. Except for some complex poetry, texts are « simple » (no columns, no images…). On publie.net [4] you can read a few pages of all texts (pdf using issuu [5]) and download the all texts in « public domain » section [6], but only pdf and rtf formats. What do you think ? Am I wrong ? Is the use of indisgn the right way ? Best regards, Olivier.
