I have had excellent success with OGEDIT. I agree that some slowing occurs
on large text files. Nevertheless, it seems to page nicely and I use it often.
>The natural solution seems to be bindery:
I originally got the bindery for this purpose and found that editing is too
important for me when I need to review text. I use Bindery for creating
reference material. It is too much work for general text conversion.
>what are its limitations?
It is not the most intuitive program I have ever used. In additiion, the
book making process is sometimes frustrating because of several formatting
issues. What appears in Bindery does not always translate correctly over to
the OmniGo.
>what is the typical overhead in a non-graphics file
Bindery actually compresses the data making it smaller than the original. It
reduces or equals out in the end depending on the completed books complexity.
>what is the size in KB of a one-page bitmap
Page size? Are you referring to OmniGo page size or is it in reference to
actual page size? Size of bitmaps depends heavily on the intensity of the
actual image...I've had some as small as 5k and as big as 50k.
