PDF is the only working format on the Iliad, and even it's not working too well yet.

99% of my documents and ebooks are HTML, but I can't use them as the HTML renderer in the Iliad is broken.

The two main issues are in-document navigation and rendering. The rendering fault is the worst, and means that the top and bottom lines are unreadable much of the time, with no method of scrolling the page to make them fully visible.

The renderer should test if the page's start and end line are fully visible, and if the top one isn't, then move the page down slightly until it is, and if the last line is not visible, don't render it at all and make that line the top line of the next page.
