Ebook Library User Poll

[amalthia]

This is a poll for anyone that's used or has an interest in using the Ebook Library Archive. I'm trying to get an idea of what I can do to improve the site and know which formats to focus on more.

RTF works differently I hear on other devices. On the Sony the RTF font has to already be at about 18 or 20 to be readable, otherwise it's very tiny and you can magnify but then it gets too big and looks ugly.

Does the RTF on the Hanlin support embedded images?

Typical, eh? Consistency is often lacking across the IT industry, unfortunately.

Yes, it does support embedded images. I often remove them, however, as it sometimes takes issue with images ... it may be dependent on image size, or it may be dependent on the HanLin's "mood" ;) - sometimes it takes extra time to load a page with images. Not always, though.

On the Sony it won't even display the images. I keep them there for anyone that wants to convert to another format...
