My novels aren't heavily formatted, so even .txt would probably do, but I tend to use 1.5 line spacing for easier readability (an even more critical issue on ereaders than on paper, I feel) and I think that would be lost in a .txt file. If you name the format I can probably find a file converter to make it somewhere out there in the ether...  |
PDF doesn't read all that well on a 6" screen if the PDF is made for letter sized paper. You'd have to make the PDF the size of the 6" screen.
RTF can be read on the Sony Reader 500/505 but unless the font is about 16pt it won't be all that easy to read plus you lose the ability to have the cover image and a ToC. so that's not all that wonderful.
1.5 line spacing also is not needed on the eink screens. That sort of formatting started by eReader was because of small PDA/cell phones screens back when they created the format and reading software. The best thing is to use the native format of each device and not have any excess line spacing other then as needed for section breaks. By using the native formats, you can have proper graphics and a ToC.
For LRF, you can download eBook Library from Sony and use it to view the LRF on screen. The emulation is quite good. And you could use Book Designer or one of the converters in Libprs500.
To make the conversion easiest overall, you might want to create an HTML version and then you can use html2lrf to convert to LRF and Mobipocket Publisher to convert to Mobipocket for the Gen3 and iLiad users.
If you need any help in converting, I can give you a hand.
