When I did my testing, I realized I could simply open the epub or mobi file in that viewer and if the file was cropped (does not adjust formatting) as it is with the Mobi file, then it would work well in the T1.

When I put the epub file in the Sony, it's OK in landscape but some formatting is off.
==>*What is truly working is when I upload an epub converted from a Mobi file. It's perfect on the Sony. So it's possible, I just don't understand why it needs to convert to Mobi and then to epub on my side for it to work.
My answer remains the same, the calibre Viewer is wrapping the epub lines, just make the window wider until it stops wrapping.

However, you cannot use the calibre viewer to simulate what an epub, or mobi will look like on any particular reader. For a start the calibre viewer will convert a mobi (in memory) to epub before displaying.

I've now added my PRST1 images to my earlier post.

Regarding the XPDF pdftotext utility, here's a screencap of the output TXT file created on my Windows XP PC from kidblue's original sample screenplay PDF. Did you remember to add the -layout parameter in the commandline instruction?

I don't know what else to suggest. I don't know what is different in your setup to mine other than you have a Mac and I have a WinXP PC.

Can you post both your epubs:
- the one created by the zip-to-epub conversion
- the one where you went zip-to-epub-to-mobi.

I'll see if I can see a difference.
