Found a way to fix this: margin left/right in CSS, margin top/bottom in XPGT/XSL-FO. You'll notice that you MUST include a margin otherwise, you'll get display problems with the page numbers.
This highlight both problems with the current ePub standard, and with DE: - ePub needs some standard way to control the layout of a page. I would recommend the paginated and generated content for paginated media modules in CSS3. - DE should avoir displaying the page numbers, and the integration between XPGT and CSS should be better. You can crash your reader if you use oeb-column-number along with XPGT. I've included an updated version of the template with this post. |

Aye, but ....

I ended up paying about £230 for the reader plus leather cover + taxes/duty - and I've had it a couple of months now - so to get it 4 months early for around the UK RRP, then I`m more than happy (And since I can also read technical manuals on the thing then this meant I could also buy it through my company - mwuhahahaha.... ) |

@page { margin: ... } But in general, when people mention CSS3 in eBooks, my brain starts hurting. The current push in web standards seems to go in the direction of making it so convoluted that you'd have to be a pretty big organization dedicated exclusively to implementing that stuff to be on top of it. There are already more C++ experts than CSS experts, I think, and it's getting only worse. Peter |

Guess you decided to include some CSS3 properties after all ? I agree that the status of the different web standards can be very complicated, but I really believe that support for at least some CSS3 modules would be very helpful. The generated content for paged media module is a very good example: it's very easy to add support for footnotes using this module, while currently, real footnotes are almost impossible to support in ePub. Do you have a ressource listing all the CSS elements supported by DE ? |

But one thing is clear, one has to chose his risks. I thought that $30+€90 was worth the try. Got it in 6 days. I broke my Dell Axim X50v last week and, since Dell has discontinued them, I am waiting for a new X51v from ebay. So far my problems with ebay have come through customs or by my foult when giving a PO Box instead of my address (once each). |

Tried the margins with @page: the behavior is similar to XPGT for left/right margins. The page numbers are not properly displayed in the margins.
Moved the template from XPGT (top/bottom) + CSS on the body element (left/right) to CSS on @page (top/bottom) + CSS on body (left/right). Hope that the behavior will be more consistent in a future upgrade (or maybe, add the possibility to remove those page numbers in the right column ?). |

505's don't come with main rechargers, just the USB cable, as they fixed the issue with the 500's where you couldn't recharge them from USB if the battery was too low. For a mains charger, just get a 'generic' PSP charger - it'll work fine.

Do you mean the 505's battery could be recharged by an usb connection to a normal PC?... If yes, then I have what needed.. :-)
