It works well, but it’s imperfect.

Problem: Given an item in the Internet Archive, e.g. The works of Ralph Waldo Emerson, you may be tempted to download the PDF for its exactness. Admirable! However, my e-reader is horribly slow for opening it and turning pages. I find slow page turning aggravating; it makes me lose my train of thought and strains my reading comprehension.
Solution: Download a different format of individual images, bulk-scale them down exactly to your device’s screen, then package the images back into one single file.
This extra work is well worth it for me.

TODO – See also PDF? I haven’t tested it, but I wonder if “repairing” a PDF would also help with e-reader speed.
“Females” is different than “Women” (that’s why there are different words), but I mix the ideas here.

- Ported articles are given a timestamp of
00:00. -
The dates from the oldest articles (2005 or so) are likely wrong, as they were ported from a still-older content management system.
- Just as this “five things” process exists, I had an earlier series of notes tracking a still-earlier porting process. In due time, I’ll go through that list and correct dates as best I can.

An E-book reader.
Because this is my first e-reader, I can’t judge it against it’s peers. It works well.
It is spectacular hardware-wise. Its software works, but it is sometimes obviously or even critically lacking. It lacking a file browser and respecting directories is bad enough that I can’t really use it for its intended purpose, and almost regret buying it.
