Syllable breaks visible in Kindle

Wed, 03/04/2009 - 18:33 — Anonymous

In the process of converting PDFs to the Kindle format, I have created a problem. I convert the PDFs to HTML and use Stanza to convert the HTML to .azw files. It looks fine on the Stanza desktop, but the text on the Kindle contains visible syllable breaks. So, the sentence "the Roman centurions slowly advanced" looks something like "the Ro-man cen-tur-i-ons slow-ly ad-vanced." The text is properly formatted otherwise.

Any ideas?

Did you ever find a solution

Did you ever find a solution to this, as I am having a similar problem. I even exported to HTML and I don't see syllable breaks, yet on the Kindle, there they are.

If you disable hyphenation

If you disable hyphenation (using the "View"->"Hyphenation" menu in Stanza Desktop), does that change it?

Also, which version of Stanza Desktop are you using? We haven't heard of this problem with more recent versions.

Try turning off hyphenation

Try turning off hyphenation in Stanza Destop before exporting to .azw to see if that helps.
