Ebook Readers

[toomuchplor]

People out there who use ebook readers for fanfic -- does any of you use an iPhone or iPod touch for this? I've had a couple of different ebook apps on my iPod touch but sadly none of them seems to display ebook files correctly (lack of paragraph breaks, or teeeeeeny text, or weird characters -- the typographical kind -- displayed).

(We don't have the Kindle here in Canada. I know. Sometimes my country is made of lame.)

there!

i have endless amounts of love for Stanza. But, I did find that it did wonky things with some files (but not all). I found it was only a couple of characters, so I'd just sort of assume what character it was and replace it with something else. The long "-" .. whatever it's called, I would just find and replace all of those to a normal "-".. and that sort of thing.

And when there would be no line breaks, I'd open up a file that had a proper line break, copy the blank area, and then find and replace the wrong line break with the right line break.

(please excuse my complete lack of proper terminology!)

Anyhow... I found that that worked like a charm, and it didn't take very long. Definitely worth it!

Thank you! I'm still having a few issues with line breaks and such in .RTF files but everything else is working quite beautifully. I'd tried Stanza when it first came up and gave up on it pretty quickly. Glad I'm trying it again now!
