jgray, Don't know how I missed that before - works great! (at least on the 1 book I've tried so far).


One other question related to PDF conversions. Following the procedure for converting a large page-size PDF for use on a smaller ebook reader, I save the PDF as RTF (per the Sony Guide). But, when the RTF is open in Word 2007 I cannot access the Page Setup actions - they are grayed-out. And the file is miserable-looking, with overlapping text boxes. Although if I reduce the font size I can eliminate the overlap.

I was able to save the PDF to text and then to rtf - fiddle around with font/size, page size, margins - and then save it back to pdf. The file size goes from 1442 (original pdf) to 853(txt) to 993 (rtf) to a whopping 2173(pdf) - is this normal? Maybe I should just stick with the pdf->txt conversion?

The only advantage that I can gather in going through the entire cycle is if I want to have the book in a special (non-jetBook supported) font?

Thanks again!
