  • 2. Make the final version of the book.
  • 3. Create a copy and open it.
  • 4. STOP automatic saves every x minutes.
  • 5. Replace all of the graphics with the original files (in mso 2007/2010 juts right click and choose "change picture". Do NOT save.
  • 6. Print the file.
  • 7. If you want to be loved: make a special PDF edition with very big text, so the page looks good on a 5" or 6" device.

At least that's how I had to do it. If anyone knows a faster way I will be happy to be corrected.
LCF: I think you provided some great info only it's a bit over my head. I didn't even know there was a dedicated PDF printer, or, do you mean any printer?

Anyway, someone else suggested the Calibre system and without knowing a thing yet other than having watched the demo video, it looks like Calibre can do just about anything I (you/we) want to do with ebooks.
