Thank you for the answers. I use the Apex to read the text. But for
some reason, it doesn't like to read the RTF format (and it should) so
I turn the document into an MS-word format and read it that way. The
page formatting is therefore retained and I don't have to spend hours
in the computer chair, but can relax in the recliner and rread that
way. (I'm lazy, but it's comfortable and I can read for long periods
that way. I've always sort of considered font changes in fiction,
which is what I'm doing now, superfluous, since they're just
eye-candy. But I am glad to see that the consensus seems to be for
finishing the word on the original page.
