Newton Press and the NewtonBook spec allow for different book sizes. Off
the top of my head, they are something liek Universal, Classic,
MP2000-Portrait, MP200-Landscape, and MP2000-2up. Universal will work on
*all* newtons. Classic I believe will not work on OMPs (although I may be
wrong). The rest are pretty self-explanatory.

Bookmaker takes either RTF (Rich Text) or ASCII text files and generates
Book Source files, which can then be imported into NTK and compiled into
packages. IMO this is the best way to createe very, very large packages.
Tom Sheppard uses BookMaker to generate the (huge) IMDB books. You can
also use Newt's Cape to create books from HTML or PalmDOC documents.
