pielrf - a new Sony Reader formatting tool

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Enterprising Mobilereader “EatingPie” has released version 1.1 of pielrf, a Python based tool for easily creating Sony Reader (and LibriĆ©) ebooks from text or text with HTML tags.

It seems much more flexible than makelrf, so I’ve added it to the downloads menu as “Sony (beta)” — please let me know if you try it out, since I don’t have a Sony Reader to test with anymore!

Docudesk Browser - Sony Reader tool for Mac OS X

Saturday, April 28th, 2007

From the Docudesk website:

The Docudesk PRS Browser allows Macintosh users to easily manage content on the Sony Reader using a native OS X interface.

Both internal and card memory locations are supported, and all natively-supported file types can be added and removed from the Reader (txt, lrf, pdf, rtf, bmp, gif, jpg, png, mp3, and aac) with simple drag and drop operations. You can even copy files from your Reader to a local drive.

Shoka - kind of like iTunes for PDFs

Monday, April 16th, 2007

There’s a really interesting PDF document organizer being developed called “Shoka” — it’s currently in beta, and it’s free:

It’s available as an OS X application and as a Java Web Start app for GNU/Linux or Windows. Looks good so far!
