Hello-

Wordcycler generated epubs of http://paulgraham.com/road.html (and
other essays) do not work well on my prs505.

The issue is that the first page is just the title, the second page
has the first page of text rendered just fine but I can't advance
paste the second page. The PRS 505 just gives a little do not enter[1]
symbol when I try to advance and stays on the same page of text.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Brandon

That's interesting. I don't have a prs 505 on me, but I've reproduced
the same bug in Adobe Digital Editions. It's also interesting that I
couldn't get that page to come up from the "text" link on Instapaper
either. I guess there's something about the markup on that page
that's tripping up the text parsers. I'll try to get a bugfix in for
the next version.

And actually a similar thing happens on the Kindle, now that I try it.

Thanks for reporting that.
