Sure, that would work up to a point. But there's got to be a point at which a line is too long to fit the screen even at the smallest readable font. While I can understand the PRS not wanting to break a preformatted line, as I said, it may be the most practical solution.

Having said that, it's probably mostly programming books that are likely to have this problem, and related subjects. If you're reading books about programming, you might well have the skills to pre-process an ePub doc and reformat <pre> sections that are too wide.
