Default Ebook Template or Format?

pdf is a bad format to read on an ereader. As long as it's just plain text
on A4 pages, most readers can do the reflowing in an okay way. But as soon
as the pdf becomes a bit more complex (multicolumn, equations, ...) all
ereaders have issues processing the pdf. In most cases they just draw an
entire page and let the end user enlarge parts of the page to his/her
liking. This works but is certainly not userfriendly.

Is there a template that supports or is best used for EBOOKS?


Connie,

I have a Sony PRS-505 and I create eBooks for it in Office 2007 by
formatting everything in Word and then converting the document to a PDF
format. I've never seen an eBook reader that wouldn't read PDF and you
don't
need Adobe to convert the document either. Microsoft has a download that
will save documents as PDFs and it works rather nicely. By converting to
PDF
you allow the document to keep its formatting and the only problem you
might
run into is the Reader not supporting a font you have used, in which case
most of them will insert their default font.

Hope that helps.
