Hello,

I've just discovered your converter. It is a really nicely engineered system. Thank you so much for sharing it. One question. Is it still not possible to do left aligned text in LRF format?

Ebooks' biggest selling point for me is the ability to read at larger font sizes. I find the amount of randomly sized whitespace with large fonts and full justification very distracting. I have the same problem with books purchased through the Connect store. Even worse, the Connect store books don't have a large enough font in the first place and waste a lot of space on margins.

So....I've been using RTF formated text on my 505 with left justification and a size 20 sans serif font. (poor eyesight) I usually read on medium or large reader setting. RTF seems to properly left align leaving a ragged right margin. I do miss have benefits of images and links that the LRF format provides.

Thanks for listening!
