The lines certainly do wrap. But the author doesn't want them to. She wants it to look exactly the same on the ebook as it does in the print book - the text for that line all on one line.

It works in landscape mode on Sony and Kindle, but the font size has be be very small to make it work in portrait mode.

That's unrealistic and ineffective, though I understand her point of view too. Reading poetry on a 6 inch screen is a pain.

I usually stay clear of PDFs, but I would consider doing it in the case of poetry or any book where layout is important, provided the PDF is formatted specifically for my screen size. And I'd need a free sample to make sure. But chances are I wouldn't bother with the whole thing and just find another book.

the Pandigital Novel Personal will do landscape as well.
power saver mode must be off, and auto-rotation must be enabled.

Thanks, Mike. I see you have a Nook; does it do landscape mode?
