[Reader-users] Next question from my side-textfilesupport/conversion

[Jacob Kruger]

Ok.

Tested it now, and it reads it fine, and does in fact remember where you 
were when you stopped it last time.

Only real hassle is that you can't use the navigation keys since it simply 
then says 'no text', which I suppose means that it doesn't have any 
structure defined for the file, so it, for example, doesn't know about 
different sentences, paragraphs etc.

Basically means that you can't make it start over reading from the top, make 
it read page by page etc. etc.

Minor irritation, but it basically just means that I might then split the 
files into slightly smaller pieces before putting them on the memory card.

FWIW, I simply created a folder on that card under reader documents called 
eBooks, and it browses that fine, reading the filenames without hassles etc.

Stay well
