Hi there,

Well, you're not the only one with these problems with CHM files on the Pocketbook Pro 903.

Yesterday I tried opening some CHM files I downloaded from the internet and they all have these problems:
- Reader shows only the pages of the current chapter and doesn't allow me to proceed to the next chapter. Selecting the first chapter in the table of contents gives me 1/5 pages, while the book has more than 600 pages.
- Chapter and paragraph titles, headers, footers and body text all have the same font. So markup is completely gone, which makes the ebooks hard to read.
- Sometimes I can't even go to next or previous page within a chapter.

It seems that CHM format is not properly supported, because I find it hard to believe there would be so many faulty CHM files scattered around the internet. I will try to convert these files to PDF, but that would of course remove the hypertext features of the document.
