I've reported earlier that DOC format didn't work correctly for firmware v1.71. So far I haven't seen anything being done by iRiver to resolve the problem.

Out of curiosity I tried to read a TXT document (in English). It would seem that iRiver Story doesn't read TXT files correctly too. Words at the end of the lines are broken up and go to the next lines. In other words, it doesn't do word wrap at all.

So it would seem that iRiver Story is only able to support ePub and PDF at this time.

If you are going to buy an iRiver, please take these severe restrictions into consideration. I got a feeling iRiver isn't very keen on taking out the bugs, as they've more or less left the firmware to the user community.
