FB2 problem in V3. How to fix it.

[reycat]

Hello everyone.

After a couple of months envying my girlfriend's PRS-505 Vizplex screen, I have bought a V3 and send my old PRS-500 to my sister.

I really like the device. Maybe it's not as 'fashionable' as the PRS, but it does what it has to do.

I read in some Spanish forum (El Otro Lado) that the best format choice for the V3 was the FB2 format. However, I also read that Book Designer uses several characters that the V3 is not able to proccess correctly. In decimal, 133, 145, 146, 147 and 148. Whenever the V3 finds one of this chars in a paragraph, it thinks it's the end of the paragraph and doesn't show anything more until the start of a new paragraph.

So, I wrote a small program that looks for these chars and changes them into something the V3 has not problem with.

Chr(133) -> '...'
Chr(145) and Chr(146) -> Chr(39)
Chr(147) and Chr(148) -> Chr(34).

I hope somebody finds this useful

Oh, thank you very much.

By the way, one of the posters in El Otro Lado (albertog) finded out that if you check the box "save as utf-8" in BookDesigner, it doesn't use those chars and therefore the V3 has no problem at all.
