I am not going to hate you ... unless you are a publisher ;-)

I personally love to complain about shortcomings of text formatting and lack of typesetting on an e-ink screen of the typical reading device. One of possible answers is creating a tailored pdf that is formatted specifically for the screen size. You can use whatever fancy typesetting software that won't create rivers, widows, orphans and much worse atrocities typical for e-ink readers.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of pdf files out there are of poor typographical quality, formatted for A4 or Letter. Not good for my 6" e-ink reader, I am afraid ...
