4) Change ALL the Margins (top, bottom, left, right) to .1 or .2 (your pref)
5) Now, go through and edit it how you wish. Change the title page, add images, add a ToC, perhaps have the first page be the Book Cover. Adjust the font size to reflect what you'd like to see on your 5" or 6" device. Add Page Breaks to make each chapter start on a new page. Whatever you want.
6) Save as PDF. Plug-in Link Here
And you have a custom formatted PDF specifically designed for your 5" or 6" device. |
The problem with that is text drops all the formatting (italics, em dashes, etc).
While not free the best method I've found so far is to export HTML with Acrobat Pro and edit it in Book Designer (or your choice of editor). There are still issues, PDF wasn't really meant to be exported from, but it's the best I've found so far.
