This doesn't happen in FBReader, and it doesn't happen in in the native Kindle software. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried changing the font size, and font type, but it didn't help any.
Kindle (Correct):

Duokan (Incorrect):

There's also a lot of other formatting that appears to be absent in the duokan version, compared to the kindle version. Not as annoying as this bug though.
1. You don't have to do any jailbreak with Duokan. So you could spare yourself some
trouble.

2. Just in general: None of the different software will show the book the same. ( except some pdf might ) The layout, the fonts, paragraphs, etc. will differ.

3. Your examples is absolutely right. Duokan has many problems. They try to get different Chinese forms working, as well as Japanese, Korean, etc. For many of our short signs, punctuations, etc. they have to use a shorter space, plus they got some encoding difficulties - as our alphabet is only a small subset of what they use in the software. Then it prosess text differently according to the book formats. So, we have to be patient and hope they will improve all these details down the road.
