For instance, children could get images from the Internet<br> using Browse, create images using Record or one of the Paint programs,<br> then use View Slides to import them into a slide show and arrange them<br> into sequence by renaming them.<br> <br> Once you have images in sequence like that you could use View Slides<br> to read them like a book, copy them to a thumb drive and read them on<br> a non-Sugar computer using a program like Comix, or unzip them and use<br> a command in Image Magick to create a PDF out of them. Once you have<br> a PDF like that you could convert it to DJVU with another free<br> utility.<br> <br> View Slides is consistently more popular than any of my other<br> Activities and since there is very little legal content in .cbz format<br> (and illegal content in .cbz format isn't that easy to find either)<br> I've always wondered what people were doing with it.
