1. If you are using BookDesigner, and you are asked if you want to "Turn on Multilangauge Support", don't. (If the book is in English, you don't need this.) If you do, you will create an ebook made up of page images, not text. It doesn't look as good, in my opinion.

2. If you are going to have pictures, please remember that the 1150 is a low resolution device. Any image will be scaled to 320 pixels wide.

3. An omnibus is great, but the 1150 has limited storage. Individual stories is just as usable, and more flexible.

That's all I have for now. If a longtime 1150 user has a request, feel free to add it here.

From BookDesigner, you are creating an IMP format book. Use the GEB1150 in the device field.

In addition to the comment Nate made on #1 above, the image file will be at least 5 to 10 times the size of the text file.
