I got tired of reading this extremley long thread to see if the css issue had been sorted out, so decided to try the software out and see...
Nope.
On my PRS505, all my books except one are in rtf format and they appear to be OK.
The one pbub book I have looked awful, I'm afraid. The font at the start was HUGE, laeving room for about only 40 words on the first page. I'd seen that there was a 'font change' option available, so pressed on...
The font size kept changing throughout the book, and with no apparent reason. The predominately large font text suddnely switched to a much smaller size in the middle of a line and then back again a few words later.
Yes, the justification issue has been solved, but the random font size changes make this alternative a non-runner as far as I'm concerned.
Decided to remove the software and keep tabs on this thread instead.
Removing the software brought it's own set of problems.
The instructions say to delete all the files that were copied to the reader as part of the install. OK, which oines are they? Eventually solved this one by having two 'explorer' windows open and matching the list of folder names between the reader and the unzipped install package. Cumbersome, to say the least...
Restarted the reader, and found that:
1. it had lost track of the book I was reading before starting the removal process - Went to that book manually, and then found the reader had forgotten what page I was on. Not a terrible problem, but disturbing, just the same.
2. Checked a couple of other books and found that the 'history' had been wiped there, too.
3.Then noted that all my bookmarks had gone - has that been metioned before in the tread? Still not a biggy, but again, disappointing.
3. All my collections had gone! That *really* upsets me - I had a large set of collections defined (300+) in order to gather groups of short stories together, while keeping them individually available.
Like I say, I'll keep checking this thread from time to time, to see what developements occur.
The original Sony firmware leaves a lot to be desired, and the idea replacing it is sound. Unfortunately, the quality of this alternative is a few steps behind the Sony one as yet...
Good luck with futue endevours, ebookapps, but you've got a bit of work to do yet - as far as I'm concerned
