3. To ask Sony to add soft hyphenation support and left-justification: BD has these options but they are not activated because Reader does not recognize soft hyphs and left-justification .

I would be happy with a hard formatting method, as I almost never use anything but the largest text size (after all, these are low-vision books). Obviously this would be less popular with most users.

I would be OK with the "verse" style if there was some way tp automatically get the line breaks. I've experimented with saving Word files as text and specifying to add line breaks, but have not yet been able to confirm that formatting works and that all charactyers are supported properly.

This is why I suffested keeping line breaks when importing a PDF document, then specifying the same paragraph width and embeeded font in BD. This would reproduce what I really want, which is a way to get around the problems with 1000+ page PDF files in the Reader,.

I'm sure you can do this somehow, but I'll post here anyway.

I like to give the start of my book chapters there own page.

Rather than saying "Chapter 1" with the text starting below it, I make a page the says Chapter 1, the name of the Chapter, and then I put a little picture below it.

I want this to show as a single page in my Reader, click the next page button is where the text starts. Now, I can do this by putting in a page break after the picture, but the problem is if I do that the footer in the lower right corner with the chapter name is gone.

The only workaround I've found is putting in the title name again after the first page break, but it's a bit redundant.
