text files on Kobo

pyrokamileon · 07-13-2011, 09:20 PM

I have a bunch of text files that I loaded onto my Kobo and I haven't gotten around to checking all of them but I've noticed on a few that they may only be around 7 "pages" long but the Kobo says that there's 24 pages. once you get to the 8th page it's just a repeat of the 7th and every page thereafter is also the same as the 7th.. I'm assuming that this is because of the .txt format, I'll try converting a few of my text files later to check. has anyone else run into this? or maybe have an explanation for why it does this?

No EOF? I say that like I know what it is :-) but I think that is a difference between unix and dos formats?
