I would wait for the HP Slate, but they say that the Sony eReader has the largest formats support http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId= 10551 <http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId =10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666064650#specifications> &storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666064650#specifications, however not CHM and XPS - need to convert them

I've seen HTML, PDF, and some proprietary formats. Not sure about XPS though. Are there any standardized formats for eBooks, how can text / graphics be put into the formats, and what readers are available (free, so that users can download and then read the stuff)? Lastly: any role for .net coding for the conversion / creation stage? Or, is Adobe PDF the lingua franca (still)? ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
