Gawd, somebody stop me. Guess I'm going to carrry on a little while more, 'cause that's just what I do.
Attached here is a mobipocket version of my base model file, created with mobipocketcreator.
I know, how dare I bring up mobi here in the epub board. There is a method to my madness.
Looking at this with Real MobiPocket, many of the things in my epub version work. Many do not:
1) Drop caps. Duh.
2) Text wrapping around pictures. Not demoed here, but at least I haven't gotten it to work.
3) Horizontal Resolution to compensate for quotes. Mobi is walled up at 1em, 2em, 3em horizontally. Better gradation vertically, but not as good as epub on the left-right.
4) And sure, my font calls are probably not on your machine, so there is font substitution on anybody elses device.
5) Embedding fonts doesn't either, not demoed here.
However: Multiple font calls, lots of type sizes, text decoration, the aforementioned vertical resolution, it goes on, do work. Not to mention dynamic dictionaries, exportable annotations, the usual mobi selling points.
What I keep hoping for is a something-better than Mobi in Windows mobile. And yes, I am reading on a WinMo screen about the size of 2 postage stamps. I'd really like to abandon Mobi, but until the something-better happens, for my modern lifestyle, I just can't bring myself to.
Darn it.
