Hello Everybody!
I think what is missing in the wiki is a comparison of all available firmwares. I'm thinking of comparing features, stability, speed, flexibility, usability and output result quality. (Certainly not in that order.) My aim is to encurage others in experimenting with different firmwares, thus improving the user experience. There is a listing of official firmwares mentioned in the wiki:
![]() I would like to ask all of you to make suggestions for entries to the comparison (with firmware version and link, if possible). Unless there are good reasons (feature wise) I think it reasonable to keep the number of firmwares down to max. two versions from each "supplier". Also, I'm trying to put together a selection of reference files for the most important formats to allow for a fair comparison. Does anybody know of such a compilation or is it time to define our own? I am thinking about:

I think a comparison of the features of the firmware would be interesting. In addition I am thinking a comparison of the various formats would also be interesting. I think only the current versions should be compared unless there is some specific reason to hold on to an old release, such as DRM mobi support for example.
