I recently bought a Bebook ebook reader. It works fine, but when I dowbload books from project gutenberg, like Animal Farm, the text spacing is all messed up on my reader. I copied and pasted the text into OpenOffice and adjusted the page layout to match Bebook to demonstrate the problem: http://imgur.com/IKU.jpg
Does anyone know how to make the words fill up the lines in the proper way, either using OpenOffice or any other free program?

I work on industrial equipment on offshore oil rigs. I frequently find myself lugging my laptop and/or cumbersome schematic books into bilges and other nasty places. I want to buy an ebook reader that will let me display schematics (PDF format) which are generally about twice the size of a regular 8.5″X11″ sheet. It will need to have 4 way scrolling so that I can view the whole page in full size (MUST). It must also have a search feature, as I also frequently find myself searching for a single word in 1500+ page manuals(MUST). It would be nice if it were small in size (hopefully small enough to fit into a large coveralls pocket)(WANT). Also, it would be good if the device is ruggedly designed (milspec, shock proof, water proof, etc)(WANT). ooh yeah, and a backlight would be handy for those dark cramped spaces(WANT). Thanks!
