But that's impossible here in The Netherlands!
Is it possible that someone checks for me in the U.S.? |

You could do without the nook given that you are not in the US. But you can buy a Kobo and Kindle from Kobo and Amazon in the Netherlands. So it's not fully impossible.

That is why many pay Pros, who do have devices. (they also have developed a toolkit if tricks to make things work. Or ADVISE you that is a bad idea!).
If you start with a clean (simple formatted) EPUB, you might save money, while getting a decent product. By simple, I mean, no really fancy styling like hardback books sometimes do. Bold, Italic, Flush, Indented, blockquotes and Chapter headings As a matter, NO style=, no CSS just means you take the devices default, and that might work. Drop caps, Tables, images, lists (li) all take a bit of fuss |

This is the CSS code I always add to the CSS because it's what I use where needed. Blockquote is for offset text. .blockquote is for offset text that is at the end of the chapter. <blockquote class=blockquote> body is the main style for the entire eBook. img makes sure the images do not expand larger then the screen/window. p is the settings for most paragraphs without the need for a class. hr is for section breaks <hr/> .cover is for making the cover image and other images full screen <div class="cover"><img alt="" class="cover" ../images/cover.jpg/></div> Code:
blockquote { margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1.5em; } .blockquote { margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 1.5em; } body { widows: 1; orphans: 1; margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; text-align: justify; } img { max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%; } p { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; text-indent: 1.2em; } hr { margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 40%; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-left: 40%; border-top: 2px solid; } .cover { text-align: center; text-indent: 0; height: 100%; } |
