Really? How do you explain the fact that it's something that gets posted quite frequently on EI's support site, and here as well.
You can't blame the e-reader, but you can blame the implementation of the readers software, that instead of accepting it and saying "Ok. i'll pass this through with it's icky formating" but instead kicks you back to the index page or the bookshelf making it impossible to read the book.
As for the problems with sub/superscript in RTF. I fail to see that that would be anything but a bad implementation of the RTF parser in the firmware, and also, this is NOT a new bugg, it has been present ever since the BeBook came out. And it has not been adressed by EI.
Don't get me wrong, I like my BeBook a whole lot, I just don't like the fact that instead of FIXING the current problems EI concentrates on adding new content halfassed as well.
I think the major misstake they did is trying to support as many formats as possible instead of selecting a couple and saying "Ok, we will make these work REALLY well"
