If you have it centered, what do you do if any of the lines don't fit in full? The way I did it when they wrap, you know it and it looks OK. If you have it centered, it will not look good when any of the lines wrap.
You also have to have text wrap to the next screen when it doesn't fully fit on one screen. There is no other way to do it.
So basically, what you want is unrealistic.

JSWolf, you're simply not understanding or reading what I'm writing. I never said i wanted it to fit on one page. Like, where did i say this?? On the contrary, i want it to reflow naturally onto as many pages as necessary.
When you say "what do you do when a line doesn't fit in full" I'm truly baffled by the question. The line breaks! Like normal reflowable text (See image2 attached). If the font size is bigger, then it breaks sooner. If the screen is smaller then it breaks sooner. And if the screen is wider or the text smaller then the line may not break at all, the text will be centered relative to the page but not its adjacent text (see image3 attached).
When you say it won't look good, that's just, like, your opinion, man. My original question was not seeking aesthetic feedback; it was strictly technical. The images attached below "look good" to me; i just can't get it to render that way in actual ereading software.
