After experimenting with Thai PDF format for a while, I've updated my preference in the previous post.

The advantage of the above format setting are:

1. you can read it at original format (full page per screen display) at "small" font setting on Nook

2. when set font size to "Large" or "Extra Large", Nook will reflow the document and the text are still readable without losing any vowels; but it may not wrap the sentence correctly, which is still fine with me. Some Thai PDF I got from others, when reflowed, it will lose vowels and thus difficult to read. I don't know why.

3. Don't set font size to "medium", Nook will reflow as usual; but, strangely, the text are smaller than when set at "small" font.

Font size 12 is appropriate for my eyesight whilst others may find it too small; then it is your choice to use other font size when creating your own pdf.

One last thing, I use open source OpenOffice Write to save as pdf. It is better than using MS Word with print-to-pdf software (e.g. Cutepdf) because with OO, it will also build chapters for you automatically (if you format your document with heading1,2,3....or title); and hyperlinks also work!; whilst MSWord+Cutepdf will not generate those chapters/hyperlinks for you.
