If I load a plain .txt file on my Jetbook Lite with nothing (I repeat, nothing) but plain text (not even tab characters), the file displays on the reader with indents wherever the text looks like a numbered list and other formatting that is not in the plain text file (whether it be ASCII, UTF 8, ISO 8858-1 etc).

I have examined the text with various editors, and there is nothing in these files that would instruct the reader to do this. I am currently working on a file where I want all the text to line up on the left without indents and cannot do it. The files display as written on all editors but take on a life of their own in the Jetbook.

Does anyone have any idea how the reader is doing this and how to make it STOP?
