EZ Reader Pro and compression formats
Hi,
Just posting my findings here, kind of like a thread for my own memory,but also for those seeking to play around with the EZ Reader Pro, or are just interested in the results. I have an HTML file, and compress it with 7z. The results are posted below of: - Archive Format, Compression method, Dictionary size, Word Size. The following settings work: - Zip, (any), deflate, 32kB, (any) - Zip, (any), deflate64, 64kB, (any) With following settings the archive opens, but the HTML within the ZIP can't be opened: - Zip, (any), bzip2, (any) - Zip, (any), LZMA, (any), (any) - Zip, (any), PPMd, (any), (any) The following file formats are not supported: - bzip2, tar, gz, wim, 7z, xz Renaming them to zip does not work. Compressing with Winrar gives the following results: - Zip: Any .zip works; archive can be opened, HTML can be read. - Rar: Any RAR archive opens, but HTML can not be extracted. Renaming RAR files to zip does not work. Hyperlinks and superscript (sup) are not supported within HTML documents. |

![]() 4G SDcard has 3900 (EPUB) books with covers: 50% capacity used 4G SD Cards are $9 at Fry's, cheaper online when you include in another order (postage will get you otherwise). |

no one worries; these are just facts and findings of the Astak EzReader Pro's capabilities.
It's perhaps part of my search to find the 'perfect' format of compression for ebooks on this device. |

Question... Why is it you are so worried about compressing your eBooks as small as possible?

Research!
To know as much as I can, to find solutions, to make the best epub I can make! I hope there's nothing wrong with that? I take pleasure in saving a few kB in my file, and have e-readers display pages 0.01ms faster than others :P By nature I'm a technology freak, I kick on knowing the mechanics and technics behind everything. Now also ebooks. It's a deficiency in my character I suppose :-) Last edited by ProDigit; 04-15-2012 at 01:39 PM. |

This biggest problem I have with zip archives is that a bookmark won't work. It will not remember where you are inside the book inside the zip. So I use folders to do grouping instead but cbz would have been nice.
