Having discovered Shortcovers new ePub support, I tried checking one of the free Suvudu novels, to see how it looks.
So I checked
Elric: The Stealer of Souls. The same novel is available in the LRX format at the
Sony eBook store.
The first thing I noticed when opening the ePub is that paragraphs have spacing between them. This may be a matter of opinion, but I don't like it. It makes less room for text on a page, and "Real" "paper" books use indentation instead of vertical spacing to differentiate paragraphs.
The default style-sheet in the ADE renderer probably has the standard margin rule of "p { margin: 1em 0; }". Changing that to "0em" should do the trick.
The problem is, the file is DRMed. The CSS file and all of the html files that refer to it are encrypted.
Is there any way, without circumventing the DRM, to change that formatting?
I checked the free
Perdido Street Station and it suffers from the same problem (BTW, The epub of the UK edition has the "correct" paragraph style).
Is this how most ePubs are formatted? I know Feedbooks ePubs are.
I have a feeling all of the LRFs on the Sony Store that will soon be available as ePub are going to suffer from this problem.
