With margins definitely looks better to me. Even on my tiny PDA screen, I need a little margin for readability. Will the chapter listing be clickable in the ToC?

Couple of other things:

Is there the option, as in Mobi, to have the text unjustified -- but the reader can select justification as desired? I find that preferable to forced justification. (If not, then the way you have it is fine. Except at the very end, where the "Continued in Book Two..." line got all squished out because of the justification. Those two lines should be centered.)

Finally, unless you find it too annoying, I've added in the other formats a reminder at the very very end that the reader could make a Paypal contribution. If you wouldn't mind adding that, you could take it from the most recent RTF or html version that I uploaded. (It includes a link.)

Thanks again for doing this.

I'm not sure about having two LRF versions up; my download page is already looking pretty cluttered, with a PDF for big screen and a PDF that reflows for small screen, and update info. (I made the extra effort with the two PDFs even though I dislike PDF--because PDF downloads are vastly outnumbering all other formats.)
