I opened a Shakespeare poem and found that it displayed rather poorly: it didn't really look like verse at all. But this may just have been the result of a poor automatic conversion.
The device supports TXT, PDF, HTML and ePub.
all of the supplied books are either TXT or HTML which is likely why the TXT are not formatted very well. They are also downloadable from the web site, by the way. http://www.elonex.com/support/products/ebook/600eb.shtm

There are 62 html books and 38 txt ones.
