PDF has some obvious advantages, if you are generating your own documents, BUT
the tools to do it easily can be quite expensive. If OpenOffice.org did a better job of
importing PDF, that might be a good option. If you are using existing PDF files you might
want to find a PDF "Virtual Printer" program (like "doPDF") that has a "Custom" page size
setting so you can match the JBL's 3x4" display in the files it creates.

As it is I would suggest the simpler .rtf format. RTF is about as simple as it could be
for a format that includes the ability to imbed objects. The WordPad program included
with windows provides easy access to the editing of the format. Many recipe ebooks/
files have pages with both text and embedded graphics of text, in addition to pictures.

The only downside is the WordPad's page size selections don't give you a "custom"
option and the closest to the JBL's 3x4", that is available is the "A6" setting. Still, you
can work around that.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the JBL has no problem dealing with a large number
of formats all in the same folder if you want. If you have a number of files from many
sources you might want to run them through Calibre, with the output profile setting for
the "Jetbook 5-inch", just to impose some common rules on them.

Luck;

P.S. You might consider making it as your "Cooking SD" and have it separate from your
regular "Books SD". That could make it a little easier to keep updated and supply copies
to your friends and family.
