Hmm...interesting.

I can't really see turning your txt file into pictures just to make it word wrap as being a good solution.

I don't really mind the quirky line wrapping all that much after I got sort of accustomed to it. I never really got used to it totally but got pretty good at picking up the rest of the word on the next line without missing a beat.

My new RK27.. player has more smarts and doesn't wrap in the middle of words, but when you advance a page, the new page has some of the previous page at the top, sometimes as much as half.

I'm basically okay with that, as they seem to have done a pretty good job at addressing the myriad faults in the 26 Rockchip series. Nearly every one of the previously irritating features has been fixed to varying degrees.

The only thing I don't like about the new one is that it lacks a physical power switch and it can often be in "sleep" mode rather than in "off" mode, in which case it flattens the battery very quickly. Also, the txt files were superimposed on a desktop pattern which badly affected readability. There was no option for no background at all, so I had to add a black desktop to those available, and change the text to white.

The result is that I have loaded the player up with tons of ebooks and use it all the time for reading where I used to use the Pocket PC, which is much larger and has poorer battery life.
