Create reflowable content for the Sony Reader with deskUNPDF

 UPDATE:  deskUNPDF 2 Professional for Windows and deskUNPDF for Mac are out of beta and have been released with the PDF to LRF capability and more.  Please visit Docudesk.com for more information and a trial download.

The deskUNPDF LRF Renderer Technology Preview allows Sony Reader users on Windows or Mac OS X to create reflowable eBook content printer output or existing PDFs. This is a major breakthrough because the native support for PDF content on the reader makes it incredibly hard to read the text of a normal letter-sized PDF page. The deskUNPDF LRF Renderer can produce BBeB Book content with structured text that is easily resizable, for easy of viewing on the Reader.

Features:

  • groups all text into a single flow
  • images (with grayscale dithering support)
  • basic font and style rendering
  • three rendering modes:
    • block - renders more font and size detail at the expense of adding more paragraph
    • inline - text is grouped together into larger paragraphs
    • freeflow - as much text as possible is grouped into each paragraph


Limitations:

  • documents with columns or other fancy layout are rendered in a single column
  • bold font faces currently render as italics due to current limitations in knowledge of the Reader format.
  • vector art is disabled
  • hyperlinks/table of contents not implemented


We hope you enjoy creating this new convenience of creating content for your Reader as much as we do!

You should really check out the website link above. It reviewes all major psp download services

If anybody is interested, I've ran a review site, and I reviewed the major psp download sources. Just click below

I have found two interesting sources ( Fileshunt.com and Filesfinds.com ) and would like to give the benefit of my experience to you.
