Manga2Ebook initial release
I’ve recently got my hands on a new Ebook-reader (the Sony Reader) which uses the Eink-technology. Electronic paper if you will. With this technology, an image is built up electronically onscreen. But after the initial image-creation, the screen won’t use any (electronic) power anymore. Because it doesn’t have a backlightit reads just like a real paper (newspaper quality)
Besides power consumption, the resolution, or better said, DPI is very good too. 166, this can be compared to a printout from a inkjet printer.
IMO, this technology would be mature in a few years, therefor I wanted to see the potential and become an early adapter to see how it could benefit our further development.
(i’ll write a review in later posts)
For this gadget, I’ve made a C#-program which would convert a collection of digitized comics and manga into a PDF-file which eventually can be used on an electronic reader device.
Because it’s written in C# you’d need to install .NET 2.0 (if you haven’t already.)
Also, it need the image manupilation power of the free and powerfull ImageMagick. Download and install the files here (or get the package which has the files included). Chose for the ones named -Q16-windows-dll.exe
This program can be found here:
