Sony prs 600 comic lrf test

[YaoiSelfPleasure]

can't i just put in jpg and png picture files in an album and view manga like that?

[turtlepug]

great video! just scored this for 107.00 at walmart. looks like a sweet comic reader

[mJumpman]

Is it any faster? :)

[mJumpman]

But I guess I'll just wait a little bit more 'till Sony makes it faster. It's always makes me sleepy when reading and if you need to wait 5 seconds for the page to turn... Zzz... Zzz...

@mJumpman

Buy a faster memorycard like class 4 or 6 or a memory stick pro duo ultra 30mb/sec .

Then your waiting time is over and its fast

[mJumpman]

Looks very slow after getting used to a smartphone. I don't know why and I know you shouldn't be but it just happens that you comparing the two. But looks real nice and guess it's irreplaceable when come to reading books. The reason I would like to have one would be all kind of pdf. online magazines I have and it's pain in the ass to print them or read them on laptop.

Awesome

[butterfingerjunkie]

Having trouble using the dictionary. Whenever I double tap a word, it defines a different word on the same page. At times, it freezes. Am I doing something wrong?

[fenderguitar1975]

where did you get calibre software, is it free?

[qnbs7]

@fenderguitar1975 yeah it's free and nice... just google "calibre"

[fenderguitar1975]

are these comics in pdf or are they just jpegs?

[boi510]

lrf format

[kevinbattle2001]

Sorry about the phrasing i used. I meant how did you manage to split a two page into a one page.

[techforlife]

so then what program do you use to split two page manga spreads up into single pages so that you can convert them to .lrf. Also i tried calibre but it doesn't seem to be able to convert jpeg images and then combine them

[boi510]

Sorry for my English but i don't understand what u r saying.

Do u mean join 2 page into 1 page. or spilt 1 page into 2 pages.

What i did was i put all the images(in pages order)in RAR file(use Winar) Then change the extension RAR to CBR (wiki it)

*******************

Example Chapter 1.rar

change to Chapter 1.cbr

Then convert Chapter 1.cbr to Chapter1.lrf

[techforlife]

Why to .lrf??

[boi510]

LRF format is a proprietary format by Sony used in their e-readers and I think manga seems load faster in that format in Prs-600.

Correct me if Im wrong.

[yaglourt]

@boi510 exactly LDF are optimized for the sony readers and are displayed faster than pdf or jpg...

(plus the comics will take less space in lrf seeing that calibre downsize the jpegs to the reader resolution)

[Amukahok]

May I ask what the dimensions were once you converted it? Looks like you can see just about all the details

[boi510]

I don't really know. The calibre software auto calculate what fit best on the Prs-600.

[techforlife]

The manga looks good on the prs600. Actually i am considering buying one just to view manga. I was wondering whether you had to modify the manga scans in anyway. Also i was wondering if you knew of a program that could split two page manga scans into single pages so that i could put them on the prs600.

[boi510]

I download manga from the website and then use Calibre to convert it to .Lrf .
