Hi,

Just to share this information after several tries on producing a readabile Thai ebook for Nook (we all know that Nook doesn't support Asian language).

My software
- Atlantis: for editing and creating document
- Cutepdf: free version
- BeCyPDFMetaEdit: freeware to edit book Title and author (and several more)

When creating a document,
- set page size = 9.5cm x 11.4cm
- Left and Right margin = 0.1cm
- Top and Bottom margin = 0cm
- any Thai font (I like FreesiaUPC) with font size 12
- print to Cutepdf
- then edit Meta data of the output pdf by using BeCyPDFMetaEdit

That's all you have to do.

When viewing in Nook, choose Small font size, you will have perfect reading.

There are some reservations from this process:

1. Atlantis cannot autowrap Thai sentence correctly. Actually, I intend to use MS Word because of its autowrap Thai feature; but I have problem with using free Cutepdf because it always produces A4-size pdf, even I set it to a custom size (Anyone can share how to solve this problem? or I need the paid version?). With the same Cutepdf, Atlantis produces PDF in the intended size without any setting!

2. When viewing on my Nook, the top sentence is fine, just next below the upper line, but the bottom sentence still have around 1cm space, which should have accommodated another line easily. I'll try to adjust my format whether I could use up all viewing area.

But, for now, I'm very happy with this format. Sorry, the attached photo is from my cellphone, quite blurry, but can give you some idea.

Another reason I use Atlantis because it has an option to save document as an embedded font Thai ebook (ePUB). I can really create one and can read it, but the problem is it won't reflow when viewing on my Nook. When viewing on Nook, changing font size will display Thai without problem, but the right part of the sentence will be overflowed out of my Nook screen!
