Hi everyone!

I haven't checked Calibre's capabilities yet but in the meanwhile, I thought I would give the rtf a shot. While I had a lot of fun creating the template (and an app to fill it automatically), the result on the reader was somewhat disappointing. Apparently, the PRS-505 automatically reflows the text to suit its needs when the file is an rtf one. So all the formatting I had done went out of the window. The text was still readable, but the reader fitted two pages into one...

Did I miss something in the rtf creation or is there no point in formatting an rtf file at all?

Thanks!
