The LRX files from the Sony eReader Store also had formatting that was all over the place. Seems like publishers are struggling with a default that would work nicely for everyone.

Now, I'm not sure if you've tried this much, but Calibre does a pretty good job of fixing a lot of the formating problems with books if you tell it to convert to epub, and tweak the settings to your liking (for instance, I tell it to remove extra lines after paragraph and add a 1.5 em indentation to each paragraph). This can be a great first step for the epub editing. After that, I've quite liked using Sigil to tweak the books into the perfect formatting. |

thanks for the tips jissa. i didn't realize calibre could do that much editing during the conversion, i'll have to take a closer look.
i'm not to keen on html. it is a weird format to me, not very intuitive and hard to edit. as for Sigil, well, i've tried it on several different epubs and found it to be so debilitatingly slow that it's not even worth considering as an option. what i really want to know is how RTF looks on the reader. just text, chapter headings, maybe a simple title page - nothing fancy. |

i've just tried Atlantis and it does a lovely job converting RTF to epub. so i think i'm going to start converting my library to RTF for storage. once i get my Reader i can decide if i prefer RTF or epub output...
i read in a thread here that you can add a line to the RTF header that will force full justification on a Sony Reader. can anyone confirm whether or not this works on the 300? |

The whole lack of justification on my PRS600 has sort of disregard the device. When I first bought the thing I championed it to everyone I knew. Now that everything is epub and looks like crap, I hardly use my reader, and I hope to God that Sony gets off it's duff and fixes this

the more i play with conversions in Calibre, the more i am satisfied with LRF. even ugly lit files convert to nicely justified text with a slight indent and no gaps between paragraphs.
of course, i don't have my Reader yet, so i have no idea how well Calibre's display approximates what i will see on the actual hardware... |
