Hence my request to simplyfy things by adding the extra rows on the matrix.

Well. I have only sony reader so I cannot really argue. However, I have a strong feeling that any reader either supports more than just one proprietary format, such as RTF,HTML,CHM etc., and is capable of displaying the right formatting or its proprietary format is capable of displaying the text correctly. (I think), no one would buy a reader that is incapable of displaying anything beyong simple text.
