I have used neither Plucker (directly) nor iSilo but that enables to pass a very pertinent comment (believe it or not). Use Plucker.
Plucker is an open format and I was able to convert my e-text reader (QTReader AKA Opie-Reader) which runs on the Zaurus and iPaqs running Opie to read Plucker text. The reader is also being ported by someone else to the Agenda. It, or plucker itself, can also be ported to any other platform you like without waiting for the vendors to do it for you. Already more people have access to the Plucker format than the iSilo format. Plus you can certainly distribute my reader for free with the content to guarantee people will have the necessary software and I wouldn't be surprised if the same applies to the Plucker reader - you can't do that with iSilo! So, in summary: Use Plucker Cheers Tim BTW I posted an announcement to the announcements list re QTReader (www.timwentford.uklinux.net) but haven't seen it yet - is that list working? And if so, at least I can use this as an excuse to cross-post 8^). > Message: 7 > Subject: iSilo vs. Plucker? > Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2002 15:20:56 -0500 > From: "Beard, Jeffrey J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Big snip> > I'm trying to decide between the iSilo and Plucker platforms for = <Big snip> _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
