However, I don't think I can live with every two paragaphs (for example) having split sentences and split words.
I read almost exclusively fiction, so any problems would appear to be minimized, at least in the examples you've provided.
Again, thank you for these photos.
I may just go ahead and order the white unit - before the end of the month, if I want to take advantage of the savings. (I wonder how long it would take to arrive in Peru?)

I think you misunderstood. The Table of Contents worked just fine, so the chapters can be reachd through the "catalog" table of contents. The Bookmarks, where you mark the file as you read, worked fine. What I did not check out was the imbedded Hyperlinks that the author puts in. I didn't see any, but I'll look again. [Just looked for hyerlinks, didn't see any in this book]
I not sure what you meant by splilt paragraphs, the only "splits" were ligitimate paragraph breaks. However, the hypenation does split words in strange places. My personal preference is no hypenation, but each to their own. I'm looking at a page on my PP and it has the word closer hypenated "clo-" next line: "ser", and "eli-" "xir". These two were on the basic page, which also had four paragraphs.
I do love my PP so I reluctantly tell you this. I have had many hangups in the lit file. Tying to go to the zoom just froze it and I had to reset. Entering the book is much slower than the other formats, and there was a problem with the pagination. Obviously the page length of the file was one or two lines longer than the page on PP, so the last line or so was off the bottom, turn the page and they are at the top, all alone. Next page, and they appear at the top with the next page. I feel that these are issues than can be addressed with Astak etal. Whether they will or not, I don't know. But I didn't see any split lines, as you indicated. Just new paragaphs.

Nick = short for "nickname" or, in this case, your screen name of AJ Starr
Ace Attorney = I'm assuming this refers to the "Ace Attorney" series of videogames on the Nintendo DS. I believe there was a character in one of them whose name was Angel Starr.

No, I am not using a nickname from a video game.
I chose Alyson Starr as my pen name for if and when I get my novel finished. Alyson from my mother's maiden name and Starr from my father's mother's maiden name. The Starr IS from the famous Starr family in Oklahoma. My great great grandfather was Tom Starr, Sr. If you don't know who he is you probably wouldn't be interested in the history. J is for Jo, my sortof name.
Mr JWolf, I'm not sure what you meant by a real file. I downloaded this Lit file from Baen. I did not send it through any conversions. I don't have the software to read lit files on my system. Only Calibre, and I didn't send it though it. Could you be more specific in what you would like.
