Hi Victor,
I figured it probably did but I haven't used it or heard it mentioned in
a while so I was not sure. As for features, I didn't realize it was any
different than the Paperback 2.0 for windows app. But comparing I see
it does allow for the use of one more default font and text encoding.
Everything else seems to be the same (I just did a side by side
comparison). Also I forgot that you can double click the app, set the
text file you want to convert, and then the settings dialog comes up.
As I said I didn't use it much myself so forgot that tidbit. Also there
does seem to be a option in the Paperback app for "rewrap paragraphs
automatically" that I don't see in the online version and you there is a
option to add text to the "about-box text" as well. Neither are that
important but I thought I would mention it as long as I was comparing
the two. :)
