Would a K3 owner do me a favor?

Francesco · 09-04-2010, 05:20 PM

I just ordered a K3. I frequently read some philosophy books that have quotes in Romanised Sanskrit. I had a Pockebook 360 in which I installed a wonderful font that can display a wide arrange of languages (Charis SIL or Gentium, can't remember which one). AFAIU, the K2 has been hacked and so you can install whatever font you wish, but that's not true (yet) for the K3. So I'm wondering how those quotes I mentioned would show. Would someone do me a favor and check the attached HTML document?
Also, how do you display HTML documents with the Kindle? Do you need to open the web browser?
Thanks!

Hi,

OK, quick and dirty.

Converted with calibre to mobi, no other changes.

Here are all the pages.

Kindle doesn't officially support .html documents, but if you change the extension from .html to .txt, Kindle will display it. You still get text formatting like italics, underlining, and indenting. But, you don't get the nice space between paragraphs and centered titles like you'd get if you convert your .html source to .mobi with Calibre or Mobipocket Creator or your program of choice.

I looked at your file on my K3 and compared it to Bratzzo's pics. The Calibre conversion gives it an appealing format, but the font looks the same. Also, I think that converting preserves the links for the footnotes/endnotes, but changing to .txt kills the links.
