Another couple of questions:

- Is it just me, or do I detect the refresh speed of my e-Ink slowing down? I remember when I first used it, I was quite pleasantly surprised that the page-turn lag wasn't as bad as I had feared. But now that I've loaded several books onto it, it seems to me that the page turns aren't quite as quick as before. It's not a huge difference, maybe it went from half a second to a full second, but I was wondering if this is normal?

- Formatting - I've so far only been reading ebooks that were... 'acquired' through non-ebookstore means. One thing I've noticed is that the formatting doesn't seem to take into account the 'section breaks' that you frequently have in novels. You know, like...

Quote:
[indent] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
[indent] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

[indent] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
[indent] blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
where the double space between the paragraphs indicates the section break, whether for a different scene or a POV switch. In the ebooks, I've noticed that this break is missing, which results in my reading a paragraph and realising halfway through that the POV has suddenly switched.

Is there some way to correct this? And more importantly, do ebooks downloaded and purchased from stores (whether B&N or WHSmith or ebooks.com or wherever) suffer from this same issue?
