Hey, Harry:

Caveat: I have never done this.

My understanding is, there is some flexibility in *some* FXL books, in that if the reader chooses different font sizes, or moves the book from reader A to reader B, the text can reflow within a specified container. Think..div, or blockquote. Can't go from A to next screen, for example.

Now, I have NO idea how that's done. My tendency is to tell clients that if we're making FXL, we're making FXL. Otherwise, we're making reflowable. I can't see an environment in which "reflowable FXL" can work properly.

@notjohn: You know, after all the crap I've had to endure this last week with that bozo on the KDP, you oughtn't to leave me openings like that. <g>

For notjohn:
Spoiler:
(n.b.: I should add, the BEST part of the entire thing was his diatribe about how BAD that one book was--the one (that he thought Booknook had done) that was formatted by Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint. Is it ungracious of me to snicker wickedly at that?)


@Doits:

Yeah, that's what I think that they look like. It's what ours look like. {shrug}
