The "flat" TOCs, for example, are a blatant case of BAAD overall coding. Have a close look at that pic!

The right margin numbering issue is a typical ADE thing, while the chunk limit may be considered as a Sony issue, but I believe it would be a good approach, generally speaking, to split up a text file by chapter, for example(better memory handling, nice pagebreaks, easier conversion) (cf Hadrien's approach at feedbooks,com)
