Ebook standards are great! There are sooo many to choose from. And now we get another one! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. What we *really* need is a GPLed reader software that groks any open standard and runs *today* on PalmOS, PocketPC, Symbian, etc. not an announced proprietary software that will run on PocketPC in version 1.0 and on PalmOS in version 3.0 in the year 2525. To get even the 1.0 features at http://openreader.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=73&Itemid=80 into a commercially distributable application you'll need 5 skilled programmers and 2 years time (if you start with the gecko renderer). Show me these resources. (You can contract me but my fees are pretty steep if I have to develop on Windows. :-) -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
