I don't think so... maybe you could try to write to the author...

Done. However, I had hoped that you were somehow connected with the development team, since you seem to mainly post here about updates to the program. With the exception of the registry bloat and the following: _______________________________________________________________________ Why does the PDF conversion lose some images/tables? The PDF conversion tries to extract the text and images from the PDF file and convert them to and HTML based ebook. Some PDF files have images in a format that cannot be extracted (vector images). All tables are also represented as vector diagrams, thus they cannot be extracted. _______________________________________________________________________ it otherwise looks like a good program. I sure don't understand why it has to flood the registry with so many entries. It might be because the program supports so many devices: _______________________________________________________________________ At the moment calibre has full support for the SONY PRS 300/500/505/60 /700/900, Barnes & Noble Nook, Cybook Gen 3/Opus, Amazon Kindle 1/2/DX, Entourage Edge, Longshine ShineBook, Ectaco Jetbook, BeBook/BeBook Mini, Irex Illiad/DR1000, Foxit eSlick, PocketBook 360, Italica, eClicto, Iriver Story, Airis dBook, Hanvon N515, Binatone Readme, Teclast K3, SpringDesign Alex, Kobo Reader, various Android phones and the iPhone/iPad. In addition, using the Save to disk function you can use it with any ebook reader that exports itself as a USB disk. _______________________________________________________________________ Maybe if the author modulized the program more and made installation of some of them optional. At any rate, as I said, I emailed the development team and hope to get an answer soon. -- John Corliss BS206. Because of all the Googlespam, I block all posts sent through Google Groups.

It might be because the program supports so many devices: Maybe also because it supports downloads from hundreds of news sources? Be interesting to hear from the author. |
