Thanks!

Just to be still with us, in spirit, install eBook Publisher on your eeePC 900 and then make sure to download only REB1200 .imp ebooks... they ARE a joy to behold, even if you don't have a hardware REB1200 reader!

As usual, the EBW1150 is over-shadowed by it's big-brother...

But the big brother is just so hard to buy.

If you download ebook publisher there is a reader in it that can read IMP on your eeePC if it is running windows.

Is it possible to get full screen images on my ETI2? no matter how large the image actually is reduced to between 1/2 to 1/4 screen size. LOL What am I doing wrong?

What is the size of the images in your source .prc ebook? Is it available here in our E-Books upload forum?

Mobi2IMP will reduce images larger than the screen size (about 319x446), but will not enlarge smaller ones to screen size.

If there are a few of them and you want to see them "full size", then you can hand edit the exploded .html to include width and height specifiers in the <img> tag i.e. <img src="..." width="320" height="480">. Try numbers that retain the original's aspect ratio. A good rule of thumb is that if you double the width, then double the height used as well. Experiement.

Then just load the .opf in eBook Publisher and rebuild your .imp.

Nick... Is there a way to get mobi2imp to convert with the graphics that are in the .mobi file? For some reason it keeps stripping them out.

Mobi2IMP "converts" the following images formats: .jpeg/.jpg, .gif, .png into resized versions of the same image format.

Unfortunately, it doesn't convert any other images formats, like .bmp, .wmf, etc. that may appear in the a .mobi file.

In that case, see if you can manually convert the non-spupported images' format into a .jpg, .gif or .png and re-build your ebook using eBook Publisher and the exploded directory left behind by Mobi2IMP. Be sure to also change the non-supported image filename extention to .jpg, .gif, or .png where it was referenced in the extracted .html, if any.

If that fails, PM me.

That did the trick Nick. They were in .GIF format, I did a mass conversion to .JPG and recreated the MOBI file in creator and it converted it back to an IMP perfectly. (Didn't want to use Bookdesigner as it makes the pictures look bad and this is a autobiography of Slash).
