Hi Guys,

The one resource that seems to be overlooked a LOT is Paperback by David
Fedor, one of the original Newton team. It's available at
http://www.unna.org/unna/applications/Paperback/. It takes straight text
files...drag'n'drop...and produces a nicely formatted package, with TOC with
minor editing.

The only downside is...no graphics and all of the text is the same size and
style.

The upside is that the single package resizes itself to use the max screen
real estate available on the particular machine (from the MP100 to the
eMate), can be used in both portrait and landscape modes on all capable
machines, and has resizable fonts on the fly, so you can read even in
blurry-eyed, low light conditions. In 18 point Casual font, it practically
screams at you.

I've put a bunch of books into it...no hassles. Nothing like a bit of
William Gibson or Tom Clancy in the airport to while the time...

Regards,

Gary

I really don't think there's an easy way. Unless you did them in RTF and
used BookMaker, but it can't create books larger than Classic without
hexediting the binary.
