Here's as good as there, near as I can tell, but you might find more info in the software section of the forum.

I use the free version, with the default fonts, the're fine for me, but I certainly understand that others might see it differently. I'm just glad the options exist!

The Word Macro basically marks up an RTF or DOC file in PML (peanut/pilot markup language, depending on who you ask), you open a new doc with the template, insert the file you want to process, and run the macro. Then you save it as a text file (I use .pml extensions so I can recognize them later) and run it through an app called Drobbook to make the actual PDB.

Hmm, I hadn't really thought about how much is involved there -- though it isn't as cumbersome as it seems. I know not everyone wants to go to that much trouble. I've also modified my version of the macro to handle chapters (as long as they're labelled "chapter #" that is ), and do a few other things.
