The file you mention is hyperlinked from the "get better results" text near the end of the article. That file is one I hand coded. The other two LIT files were created by the specified tools.

Thanks for the informative 2 part article.


Also it would be nice to to have a similar article covering Palm Reader, since many PPC users use Palm reader.

There are actualy 3 tools for creating palm reader documents. A Word Plug in and Drop Book (both free) and a professional program called E-Book Studio ($29.95).

It would be great if you cover these 3 tools.

Thanks again.

Part 3 ...? Mobipocket's Publisher (free for personal use) will convert from OEBPS files to either their own .PRC or .LIT. I have focused primarily on creating OEBPS files for Mobipocket's reader, as it's far superior IMHO to the Microsoft training wheels version on my PocketPC 2000 unit (Casio E-125). Granted, v2 must be better, but I'm fed up with the MS DRM initiative.

Anyway, back on topic, you can create MS Reader files with far better functionality with the MObipocket tool than RMR. And it will even use .doc or .rtf files if it chokes on Word 2000's byzantine HTML version of a proposed ebook text. ,:)
