The prs500 is the Sony e-reader (two models, prs500 & prs505. I have the 500.)
When I scan the pages, I don't save to word or anything else, I save to a plain text file. I open this file in Wordpad and turn off 'wrap text'. This is so that I can easily see where the line breaks are. With word wrap, this is not so obvious. Once I'm there, I remove all line breaks that do not separate paragraphs.
From PDF files, I've done this as well by saving the pdf to text, opening in wordpad and following the same method.
Let's take some text from Project Gutenberg for an example:
Quote:
This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or
re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
|
The would then become:
Quote:

This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. You may copy it, give it away or re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
|
It may be difficult to see the difference in the browser. If you hit 'quote' and then copy/paste this to a wordpad window (with word wrap disabled) you should see what I mean.
