Sony Reader

好久沒有把 SONY DPT-CP1 拿出來用。想說可能又沒電了，所以把它充滿電，再寫了點內容。剛好最近在瘋狂地修改 einkbro，覺得是時候再為這台 SONY 老機器更新一下版本。 ...

好久沒用了，今天參加 Google Playtime 的活動，就順便帶出門做筆記。早上發現它竟然還有更新。查了一下，針對橫向顯示，現在可以一次顯示兩頁了，另外好像還有預覽的模式，不過對我的幫助應該不大。

從很久以前就一直對這類的產品有興趣。 一開始是用pda看純文字檔或是 html 檔， 等到電子紙技術開始應用在電子書設備上後， 又陸續入手了 SONY Reader PRS500，Kindle DX，和 Kindle PaperWhite。 在看epub或是mobi, azw格式的檔案時，雖然這些設備都表現得還算稱職， 但是一遇到 pdf 檔，通通束手就摛， 不是換頁速度太慢，就是字太淡，糊在一起， 完全看不出來在寫什麼。 ...

Olympus E300 Annecy.France 2008.01.10 早晨醒來，看到窗外滿是陽光， 儘管有樹林在前頭擋著， 光線還是忍不住從縫隙竄進來。 **** Since Sony’s elibrary software only runs on Windows platform, I have to find another software to manage ebooks on my Sony Reader PRS-500 under Ubuntu. And so far, I think calibre (used to be named as libprs500) is the best tool I can get. It can not only allow me to transfer documents to my PRS-500, but also be capable of converting documents or RSS feeds to reader compitable formats. ...

(Olympus E510 Annecy Lake) 最近天氣不是很好，一天大概只有三四個小時可以晒到太陽，所以只好秀秀之前拍的照片(其實也只是幾天前而已)。Annecy的花都是一叢一叢種的，不像荷蘭，動輒一大片。不過，對於拍照這件事來說，只要花的數量夠，大不大片其實沒有太大差別。有得拍就好了。今天的照片是橋色鬱金香，它的花瓣和其他的鬱金香不大一樣，末端是尖的。照片左上角是Annecy的城堡，目前是博物館，裡頭有很多關於Annecy湖的介紹。 ...

(Olympus E300 Chambery. Elephant Fountain) Finally I got it working for me!!! I installed it several days ago; however, when I tried to launch it, it told me that something wrong with the sqllite3: Traceback (most recent call last): File “main.py”, line 827, in File “main.py”, line 816, in main File “main.py”, line 154, in __init__ File “libprs500\gui2\library.pyo”, line 405, in set_database File “libprs500\gui2\library.pyo”, line 125, in set_database File “libprs500\library\database.pyo”, line 741, in __init__ File “libprs500\library\database.pyo”, line 602, in create_version1 sqlite3.OperationalError: database schema has changed Traceback (most recent call last): File “main.py”, line 827, in File “main.py”, line 816, in main File “main.py”, line 154, in __init__ File “libprs500\gui2\library.pyo”, line 405, in set_database File “libprs500\gui2\library.pyo”, line 125, in set_database File “libprs500\library\database.pyo”, line 741, in __init__ File “libprs500\library\database.pyo”, line 602, in create_version1 sqlite3.OperationalError: table books already exists ...

(Olympus E300 France. Lyon) I found a Chinese forum which has a long discussion thread talking about reburning the image for SONY Reader PRS-500. With the new ROM image, it’s possible to read CJK characters in directly in files with format of txt or RTF. It’s a great progress and function-up for the SONY Reader because files with PDF format are so crappy on it, and they always takes a lot of space too. ...
