- adding page breaks that are not in the book to create multiple XML flows
- keeping the original formatting
I decided for the moment to keep the original formatting. What would be necessary in this case, is not an editor to FIX the formatting or different tools, you would have to MODIFY the text.
I wrote a blog post about this by the way, and I consider that it's currently the worse problem with the mobile edition of DE: http://blog.feedbooks.com/?p=74 |
Thanks for that insight. Do I understand correctly that the ePub implementation on the PRS-505 *only* adheres to Adobe's "Best Practice Guide" rather than the official ePub standard?
Regarding the single XML-flow problem I could accept such a limitation due to technical reasons of the reading device and, as such, practicality. But I would be really disappointed if ePub on the PRS-505 were restricted just because it was based on specifications from Adobe.
Did you try to configure a Proust as a single XML-flow and view it on the Sony? Did that work at all?
