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.

So you're telling us that the Gutenberg texts (like the one I posted) do indeed display exactly as-is with the mid-line breaks and not any better than the Sony? I just want to be clear on these things before making a purchasing decision.
