If any of you was following my topic, you'll know I need help picking eBook device. So, I've decided to give it a try and test how various devices are displaying Polish fonts.

I've prepared a little pack with some examples of text with our lovely characters, just for the test. I've tried to get as many different formats as possible.

Now, I want YOU! to help me with the test! I'd like to kindly ask you to get those files, upload them on your favourite (and non-favourite too) eBook devices (Palms counts as well) and tell me if they display all the text just like it is in this PNG (also attached to the archive). If you can, along with your review how it was (was it displayed ok? If not, what was wrong?) please attach some photos (the best way to make screenshots on those little things :P) if you can.

There are some formats I couldn't get created ATM at my comp, so I've also brought some links (legal, see Wikipedia for reference):
"Pan Tadeusz" by Adam Mickiewicz - PRC format

Formats in my RAR package:
- TXT saved with: ANSI encoding, ISO Latin 2 encoding, UTF-8 encoding;
- DOC saved with: Times New Roman font, Arial font;
- RTF saved with: Times New Roman font, Arial font;
- PDF saved with: Times New Roman font, Arial font;

The archive [+ mirrors]:
RapidShare || MegaUpload || QuickSharing

I'm also open for suggestions which file type should I add to the archive.
