Firmware Update Supporting EPub Justification?
Has anyone heard from Sony about when they are going to get around to implementing a fix re:right justification in ePub texts on the Sony Readers? It seems as though they've had enough time to come up with something (Adobe DE does it tolerably), and I don't think sales on their new readers would be negatively affected by doing this.
If Sony did the fix, I would be all done with lrf files and would adopt the ePub format universally. |

The PRS-900 will have justified ePub.

I don't want it in any case, unless it's implemented properly. I've yet to see any reader that handles full justification in a way that it is smoothly implemented for ease of reading.

Hmmm. Interesting - thanks! That's always assuming it's a real picture, of course.
