I have recently become the proud owner of a PocketPro and have been trying to transfer the many books that I have onto it. I have found that there are some txt files (created I think from original nonDRMed lit files which don't seem to work on the reader) but the formatting is all wrong. There are extra carriage returns at tyhe end of every line and then extra ones as well. I have tried textify but that doesn't remove all the extra carriage returns. Short of manually having to do this, can anyone advise if there is an easier way? Any advice would be gratefully accepted. I am not a computer programmer and lots of DOS commands would need to be carefully explained.
