As I said in an earlier post, this MP4 player cum reader does not break the words on word boundaries. I actually got used to this, but not being able to leave well enough alone, I tried to fix it.
My first attempt was to build a web page and use javascript to format the text. This worked well except for being way too slow. To format a book of about 750K it would have taken . . . Well, I am ashamed to say. I did not let it run to completion. Someday I will install a C compiler.
I needed to reformat a few books quickly so I pulled them into my pfe (freeware, downloadable) programmer's editor, selected all the text, and told it to format it all to a 24 character line. This worked quickly and flawlessly.
