Hi,

What are u guys using to make msreader "lit" files..ebooks with?

My lit msreader books are not what teh should be..been using
a very old version of ReaderWorks v1x. Which doesn't allow u
to use a cover or thumbnail image.

Is ne1 using ReaderWorks Publisher or Standard v2x- ?
And if so..! heh..

later...cheers
Katy :wink:

Katy, heres ReaderWorks 2 Pro, it allows covers and thumbnails

also a couple of hints about making lits

convert the document to txt before processing as this will remove most of the indentations that cause the print to look compressed, or u could open it in word and remove all the indentations except for the paragraghs

also resize the cover to 510x680
and the thumb should be 99x132

well thats how I make my lits

hope that makes it easier

Hi,

Tried this again..just figured how to use it,
without getting any errors! hehheh :shock:

From the readme.

Michisoft Reader Studio 1.0b

This programm can convert html or txt files into
a Microsoft Reader eBook (*.lit).
It even allows you to include your own cover and thumbnail images!

How it works:

1. To begin, you need all the source files for your eBook.
The book can either be an html or a txt document.
All images should be in jpg format:

Cover Image: 510x680
Thumbnail Image: 99x132

Pocket PC Cover: 350x175
Pocket PC Thumbnail: 90x45

If you don't choose an image, the converter will use
a default picture.

If you want to include a hyperlinked table of contents, then you must
use html files. Make sure that your links work before you start the conversion.
You are limmited to one html file for the ebook.
For example:
To create a link to the beginning of a chapter in book.html:
Contents.html:
<a href="book.htm#01">01 Chapter One</a>

Book.html:
bla bla
<a name="01">Chapter One</a>

2. Start Reader Studio and enter The book's title and author and
load the cover/thumbnail images.

You can also include a table of contents (html only) and an
about page for the book.

3. Save your eBook into your "My Library" folder and you are done!

Changes since 1.0a:
-improved: html import filter now faster and supports more font and alignment options

Changes since 1.0:
-Fixed: hyperlinks are now working again
-added: PNG files are now supported

Known Bugs:
-The file names of the sources files are not allowed to contain any special characters.

=====

This just means that u can only use letters and numbers and spaces,
nothing else, like periods, dash's or whatever.
Including any name inside the "title" tags in you htm/html doc/file.

One other thing, the closing brackets on a image file in your html doc,
and any style sheets must look link this.

xml tag.
Image example: <img align="left" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="10" src="bookcov.jpg" width="293" height="475" />

Style Sheet example: </style />

By doing all of this I don't get errors...so far.

=====

There's no install needed, just put in a folder and run.

I put it on the "c" drive in a folder with a short name.

Then make some sub-folders inside that, and put all the
book files inside them.

I keep all file names short, 8 char's or less.

book.html = This is ur main ebook doc, this can have a html extension.
about.htm = For some reason this must have a "htm" extension.
bookcov.jpg = This is the image cover that's linked in your html book.
cover.jpg = Main PC image in msreader.
thumbn.jpg = PC thumbnail image
ppccover.jpg = Pocket PC Cover image
ppcthumb.jpg = Pocket PC thumbnail image
