I have a tablet computer but the resolution is such that the PDF is a little fuzzy when in full screen mode, and too small when not in full screen. I have used a Kindle DX and of course the resolution and character clarity are perfect so I might look into getting one. While I am doing that thinking, reading an ebook version with flow-able text would certainly make the reading easier. I tried conversions with Calibre and MobiPocket, both have the typical extra junk text and lack of TOC links that have been discussed in this (and probably too many other) threads. I've noted that several of you go through and massage the text with a text editor, but that seems like more work than I am able to do.
What I was wondering is has anyone seen a WYSIWYG ebook layout editor which would certainly make the clean up a little easier for the common human?
I assume the answer is that such a tool does not exist, but thought it was worth asking.

I use Word 2003. It's a WYSIWYG editor. There is also Sigil which allows you to see code and how it will look.
