Book2Pod is a program to format long text documents for use with the iPod Note Reader. This feature (available with iPod firmware 1.3 or above) allows small text documents to be displayed on the iPod's screen. (Check out "Main menu -> Extras -> Notes)
Normally, the Note Reader has a file size limit of 4KB per note, so it isn't much use for long documents. Book2Pod gets round this limit by splitting files up into multiple notes. It is also designed to let you better organise large documents. Book2Pod tries to split documents at natural breaks in the text (for a book, this would

Book2Pod is a program to format long text documents for use with the iPod Note Reader. This feature (available with iPod firmware 1.3 or above) allows small text documents to be displayed on the iPod's screen. (Check out "Main menu -> Extras -> Notes)
Normally, the Note Reader has a file size limit of 4KB per note, so it isn't much use for long documents. Book2Pod gets round this limit by splitting files up into multiple notes. It is also designed to let you better organise large documents. Book2Pod tries to split documents at natural breaks in the text (for a book, this would be every chapter). The string used to split the file is specified by the "Break on:" field. A book might use the string "^CHAPTER " if all the chapters started like "CHAPTER THREE - THE INVITATION". See the note below for why the "^" character has special meaning. Obviously if a chapter is over 4 kilobytes in length it will be further subdivided.
You can set up as many split-up documents (or 'books' as they're called in the app) as you like, but please note that the iPod can only cope with a thousand notes in total. Any further notes will be ignored. You can partly get round this by using Book2Pod to disable the books you don't want to access right now. Also if you upload a full thousand notes to your iPod it will take it about 5 minutes to index them all the next time you access "Extras -> Notes" (but this only happens once).
