Some more tests I have done on .txt, .html and .xhtml
Plain text:
This showed the least amount of errors. English speech mark and capital I ('I) displayed as a Chinese character consistently throughout the book.
Some punctuation still adrift that shouldn't be.
I found no split words or paragraphs during my spot-check.
HTML:
Chinese symbols appearing in place of words containing accents. i.e. bébé
Words split over two lines which should not be. i.e. "You dumb dolt" displayed as
"You dumb dol
t"
Em dashes displaying as Chinese symbols.
Spacing errors particulary just before left speech marks. i.e. Karen said,"the sooner you and Fred… (i.e. no space between the comma and the ")
XHTML:
Chinese symbols appearing in the middle of English words.
Some punctuation adrift.
Chapter headings not displayed above first paragraph but appearing on first line i.e.
VI
Blah blah blah
appeared as:
VIBlah blah blah
I do have the Chinese Simplified font installed on my system. For those that do not I suspect different characters would appear — maybe the ? question mark.
I personally think that Jinke may have damaged the marketing potential of their new e-ink reader by releasing this software to the public in its unready state. I hope not, but I cannot overlook the fact that the Wolf software is unprofessional, unfinished and not befitting this wonderful new technology.
