HarperCollins Discworld books don't display right on M/L

Hello,

Just bought Equal Rites and Wyrd Sisters off Diesel ebooks (in Adobe Digital Editions/PDF format), and the PRS-505 with latest firmware is not able to display them properly. The same problem is evident when reading using the Sony Library software. (I stripped the DRM off the ebooks)

In "S" zoom mode, the page displays correctly but only occupies less than half of the screen; it's centered with a huge white border that makes the text much too small to read.

In "M" and "L" modes the text is fine, but EVERY PARAGRAPH is now no longer indented like in "S", but instead translated to a 1/2 line shift.

This is a problem because the 1/2 line shift is also used to separate viewpoints/"chapters" in the book, so when I use "M"/"L" I am not able to tell when one "chapter" ends and the next begins, leading to some confusion.


Anyone else noticed this problem? It could be solved by a bit more clever formatting by the publisher, I guess, but it would be more elegant if Sony fixes their software instead!
