I'm a little disappointed in the iLiad's ability to view HTML files.

I recently download this Latin text from the Internet:

http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/cicero/cael.shtml

saved it as a local HTML file on my PC, transferred it to the iLiad, and tried to view it.

What happened was that it came up on the iLiad in a microscopically small font, and increasing the font size to the maximum only resulted in it being barely readable.

I know that I could easily enough convert it to a MobiPocket book and read it that way, but does anyone know why the iLiad is struggling so much with this file? It's not all that long.

I'll try viewing it in FBReader and see if that works any better.
