Guess what happens when you keep page forward [or page back] button pressed on the oldest of them all - Sony PRS-500?
It enters the fast page browsing mode ;-)
But in the mean time, the sony won't do justify And that's WAY more important. I can live wiithout fast page browsing, i can't live without justify.

Sony DOES justify. In fact, it is impossible to have LRF file that is not fully justified, which I find extremely annoying. When you use rtf file you can set your own justification. And still have fast page forward ;-)
I do not have e-pub firmware, as the cost of sending my PRS-500 for factory firmware update from here is prohibitive, and I have a new reader (PB360) anyway.

We were discussing ePub files. The Sony doesn't currently support full justification in ePub files (although apparently the new PRS-900 does). Hopefully Sony will release an updated firmware at some point which supports full justification for ePub.

I think EowynCarter was referring to the fact that Sony doesn't offer justification for ePub files, unlike the Cybook Gen3/Opus.

yes ePub. LRF ? Well, the reason i didn't go sony back then. I didn't wanted to be locked to sony anymore i would want to be locked to amazon.
The day sony learns to render ePub properly (someone compared pocketbook and sony, and said sony was no match). And remember france exists... Most of times, thier reader comes out in france after the fight.
I have Twilight when the editor forgot the "justily" css, i can't read them ! It's ok on pc, but on the 5".... Luclily, this can be fixed by a few seconds of editing.

Or maybe that's how the file is called.

Nice, that the one of the sonys i would be intersted in. If it comes out in france at some point.

That is because the lack of hyphenation. Without hyphenation the no justification mode just looks dreadful and the extremely big raggedness disturbs the reading since you get patterns that the eye is drawn to.

True. It also is a probem with justify, but less.

I'm wondering about the speed in particular: my cybook seemed faster after the update, but not to such an extent as what is described here.
Yes, it's noticeably better. (hello, Chlorine!)

No, it is not. Even without the cover you get a shadow. It is most probably a bug in the ePub that have no top margin. Even without the shadow it looks dreadful from a typographical point of view with no top margin.

Also the top of the letters for certain fonts is aligned with the black border or even maybe cut-off.
