To good to be true: Sony Librie finally cracked!
![]() Someone named 'scythic' was able to convert HG Wells' The Time Machine from text to LRF (Librie's book format without the DRM). Even better, he uploaded the Windows binary and source code for the conversion tool as well (not GPL though). There are still a few issues to be solved, such as pagination and formatting, but the core work has been done: the Sony Librie has been cracked! Now could someone be so cool and send me a Librie to the States? I know a lot of you guys have partial feelings for a dedicated e-book hardware reader, but I'd be happy if I personally owned one ![]() Btw, I also attached the conversion tool to this thread. |

Available for as little as $489...

Scythic worked some more on his LRF tool, and made a couple of improvements. Bold is supported now, as well as images not bigger than 600x800. Also the code looks a little bit cleaned up.
See attachment. |

Attached you find makelrf 0.2, which adds UTF16 (Cyrillic/Japanese/etc.) and TrueType font support.

Too bad you want me to send you money first
![]() Who knows how high prices will go once it's it known to everybody that the Librie e-book format has been cracked/reverse-engineered. |
