I went to download some of the older manga to check it out..little did I know that each page was a seperate jpeg file!!
I was just thinking, that it may be a good idea to convert the jpegs into adobe pdf files before uploading them to the servers....mostly for 2 reasons.....
1) Ease of viewing - its a heck of a lot easier to read a chapter of manga when you dont have to constantly switch between picture files.....and plus adobe gives you thumbnails of each page so you can jump to any part of the chapter you want in an instant!
2) More Compact Files - As hard as it is to believe, its actually a much smaller size file when all of the jpegs of a chapter are simply pages in a pdf file....and too, adobe files for some reason have the ability to shrink like crazy...so when you archive it to put it onto the servers for downloading...it will actually make a big differnece (nearly1/3 less space when archived!)
I've akready started to convert the older files, but its a fairly painstaking process, so it'll be a while before i'm up and current with the new chapters... so if you think you want to do it, just let me now and I'll get cookin on the rest of the confersions.....
anyhow, thats my piece, later regs 8)
