Yes, these are features that *must* be added if one wants to do a lot of Letter/A4 PDF reading! Derek |

I just tested if conversion from lit to mobigen worked on Linux and it did. You "explode" the lit file with clit (ConvertLit). Then you can use mobigen to build a Mobipocket file. In Linux you can run mobigen with wine as described in another thread here.

There is a discussion about how the Sony displays Gutenberg TXT files here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15780. In particular, see post #12 by Kacir. Note how the Sony displays the file as-is, with all the line breaks in the original text file.
This brings up a good question. How does the Cybook handle this? Does it have any additional smarts about displaying text files like the Gutenberg ones, or does it do like the Sony and display them as-is? I have attached the Gutenberg text of Grimms Fairy Tales, which is what Kacir used. Would someone with a Cybook please try this and let us know how it looks, using the same part of the text? A picture would be really nice, if you could manage it. |

The Gen3 won't be any better for text files. The lin breaks are still going to be as they are on the Sony. Sorry, but if you are expecting to kae most PG text or HTML and read as is without any cleaning up, you will be sadly mistaken that it will look nice. A lot of the html has page numbers which will make the HTML on the gen3 look not so good. Text as was just said won't look so good. The best solution is to run the text or HTML though Book Designer and clean it up from there. That goes for the 500/505 and Gen3.

Why don't you choose a font size that can display 80 character per line or so? Then it should look OK.

However, I've found that Ebook Tidy does a really good job of eliminating these in-paragraph hard-returns and it's free to use. Oh sure, there will be *some* editing involved, but not nearly as much as cleaning these TXT files up by hand. Derek |
