[edit] Copyright?
After reading this article, I found this page: http://www.compassrose.com/publishing/e-book.html. This article seems to be a verbatim lift off of this page, or the other way around. (Personally, I think compassrose lifted it from wikipedia). Jspr (talk) 00:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Iriverbook2.jpg
Image:Iriverbook2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] ipod ebook creator
hello,
a link to the ipod ebook creator has been part of ipod notes format description for a long time. however, AlistairMcMillan deleted the link after i have changed it to new website (still free and non-commercial, just on its own domain) of the ipod ebook creator. he is also pointing to the rules and saying that "linking your own website is never acceptable."
well, blindly following rules does not seem acceptable to me, too. anyway, since this utility is online and free and helped over 250.000 people since 2004 with conversion of longer texts to ipod notes format (and it links notes together as well, so it feels like reading a true book on ipod...), i think the link should be a part of the ipod notes format description as it used over last few years.
just to support my argument - it has been mentioned numerous times at the internet with mentions in guardian (uk newspaper), o'reilly's tutorial on hacking ipod and many other websites and printed newspapers (just google for "ipod ebook creator" and see for yourself...)
i think the website adds enough value to be mentioned here.
the new website is at: http://ebookhood.com/ipod-ebook-creator and has many new features beside the regular conversion... still free and open.
