Has anyone tried the DJVU format?
The latest version of the Story firmware offers support for DJVU files, a format which seems to be gaining popularity for graphics-heavy books, and especially technical publications like maths or engineering textbooks.

Has anyone tried this DVJU support? Had any success?

I have several files in the DJVU format, and gave them a go, but had no acceptable level of success. The first one completely hung the device, which then needed a physical reset before it would reboot -- the first time that's ever happened to me with the Story, I'm happy to say -- and the other two both showed the title page accurately, but then hundreds of completely blank pages after that. I can only imagine that -- like PDF and ePub -- there may well be a fair degree of variation within the specs of the format, some of which the Story tolerates and some of which it doesn't.

So: anyone had any luck with DJVU files on the Story?
