Right PDF, especially with the Adobe Reader Mobile on the JBL (FW 0.16e) allows you to
create and display a good document and if you can afford and wish to spend what it
costs for MS Word and Adobe Acrobat; you should be able to easily produce great
looking e-books, for your JBL. Some of us are way too che... Ah.. Frugal to go that
route.

I wouldn't suggest creating a PDF with a Virtual Printer Program, but the OP mentioned
already having PDF Cookbooks that were to be displayed on the JBL. The free "doPDF"
program does let you set its output/print page size to your own custom setting, in this
case the 3x4" for the JBL.

When creating "tables", you can insure they retain their formatting by making them as
their own graphic file/image. That is a good practice for PDF as well as RTF. For the
JBL your graphics only need to be Grayscale, at the most, saving both file size and in
complexity, speeding up its display. GIMP2 is a great free program for the creation and/
or manipulation of graphic files. Your table can have any background and be constructed
using any fonts you have, they will retain their formatting and appearance when
displayed in the JBL, from an RTF or a PDF.

Hmm... It looks like I'm just restating my original reply, sorry.

Luck;
Ken
