Device: eb1150 & is that a nook in her pocket, or she just happy to see you?
no, i think correcting the file on the device would probably be too complex for the interface of a device like this (i mean, in any more permanent way than marking it with the stylus... you know, i never thought i would really use the touchscreen, but for things like that it's invaluable), not to mention the file system.

however, now, when i have corrections to make in a text, i must first correct my original html file, then re-build a new imp file. the imp format is closed, so if i notice a mistake i did not fix before launching the build, or if i keep reading and find new mistakes, i must launch a *new* build, and wait for it to process again... it might seem like a small step but i really think it would make a big difference in ease of use to support html natively. and since imp is based on html, it seems like it shouldn't be very hard.

html is a good basic format for text ; you can do a lot with a few css rules, it's robust, easy to use, reflowable, supports hyper-links, completely open, very common... imagine what it would mean, if you could take any html file and read it *with not further conversion necessary*. it would be brilliant !
