Hi! I received an iPad for my birthday, and I love the iBooks app. Since I had a copy of iWork Pages, I tried making an ePub with it, and the results were quite good. Some minor formatting issues (orphans mainly), but nothing bad.
However, when I looked at it on Stanza/iPad I was disappointed at how much worse it looked. The pages are too wide (is there no double-page layout?), headings are too small and centred rather than left-justified, the illustrations are left-justified rather than centred, inter-paragraph margins default to being too big, footnotes don't work, the invert-screen button hides the text, and the app crashes a lot with unhandled exceptions.
Are there any tricks to format a book in Pages that works better with Stanza? Or is Stanza just, well, not as good?
I was using the Pages template, though - perhaps that's the problem...
