A problem with Margins? What tool?

bar0n1 · 04-25-2009, 09:53 AM

I've just purchased a Sony PRS-505 and loaded up a couple of .lrf files into the reader. The problem is the device is wasting a lot of space with these books.

Example:
====================================
"This is and example of how my text looks. As
You can see,
It wastes lines by putting some odd words at
the end
of the line like this!
====================================

I've had a quick go with the lrf2lrf tool, but it didn't seem to make any difference:
lrf2lrf -b 80 mybook.lrf

Is this the correct tool to use or is there something else I can try?

Thankyou in advance

Mark

that is a problem with your source Imput, you are using TXT with hard coded line breaks

that should fix the txt file you are importing from, also check out book designer in my signature

Yes, you've got a text file. It is very easy to get rid of the hard line-breaks.
