Here is an email sent 5/21/2009
Here is some more feedback for Jinke. I am running the april firmware.
The current firware has a lot of limitations with HTML. These limitations are for raw HTML and all the html derived formats such as ePUB, CHM, HTML, LIT. The HTML support is very basic, no italics, no bold, no sup, no sub, pre won't wrap, no CSS support, no href. There is table support but it doesn't deal with too wide a table very well.
href links should be supported in all html flavors, particularly ePUB.
LIT has no toc support and page turns are really slow.
Font sizes really need to be specifiable by the user and the ePUB ones are too small IMHO.
Hyphenation is terrible and no way to turn it off. TH is a digraph in English (replace for Greek theta) and should never be split. The current algorithm loves to split it. I would suggest that you allow turning hyphenation off. hyphenation, even if on, should never split a word between pages.
Full justification should be done using pixels instead of characters. Just add the full width of the line and subtract from 600 then add one empty pixel between each character in the line starting at one end. (swap the starting end for each line). With a standard line of about 50 to 60 characters this will permit considerable ability to justify.
I forgot one very irritating problem. When the quote mark, single or double appears the EZ Reader automatically inserts some spaces. This means that it's becomes it' s which is very irritating. It also means that a starting " is separated from the word and sometimes ends up on different lines. It must be intentional but I can't (can' t) understand why they would do that. This happens in all html formats including ePUB and pdb.
