Hi, Hopkins, thank you very much for the coding, it's useful and convenient. Here are some issues I met, hope it can help to upgrade the plugin.
For vertical layout, I realize that you changed some punctuation to the Unicode Vertical Form, but it's not the sense for working on Kindle Paperwhite. Some punctuations in Vertical Form will turn 90 degrees right on the Kindle like ：；， and 。. The reason is that most fonts don't have embedded characters from 0xFE01 to 0xFE16, so once you replace the punctuations to those characters since the customized fonts lack those character, the system will recall the default system fonts which includes those characters but turned 90 degrees right.
I read your source and remove some conversion in the main.py, it works fine.
BTW, you missed one important replacement in the code, which is ‘ and ’ on both vertical and horizontal mode.
