There, I ended up removing most of the css and going with just a few, simple styles that I cobbled together. But, I don't really know what good styles should look like. In general, those suggestions sound good. These are simply novels and I'm happy to let the ereader (Kobo Forma) handle all the things like fonts, sizes, justifications, etc..
What about header styles (h1, h2, etc.)? Do you leave them as default or do you adjust those? |
A problem is what sort of look do you want the pages in your eBooks to have?
I started off with a lot of poorly formatted/coded ebooks many moons ago. In order to get the ebooks to look how I wanted, I had to learn the basics of CSS and editting the code.
I have my own CSS file which contains about 25 styles though often I end up only using four or five of these styles in an eBook CSS. I came up with the CSS and its' stylrs after looking at a lot of CSS files and reading Mobilrread. Forums. books on CSS and trying things out..
A stranger looking at a book I have reformatted may find my formatting style ugly, cack-handed and thoroughly horrible but I am totally unconcerned by this as the results suit me.
This being the case am not sure that having a CSS file from someone else would necessarily help you very much.
