Have you seen the
ePub Zen Garden? (Although I suspect that a number of the styles wouldn't work on some portable devices; they may not support all the coding options.)
Setting aside *good* formatting--for a lot of people, basic text is sufficient, and "well-formatted" means
- The line breaks are in the right places,
- Extra line between paragraphs *or* indented paragraphs,
- Lines don't wrap between double hyphens,
- No long gaps between words,
- Punctuation is accurate enough that it's not consciously noticed,
- New chapters start on a new page.
I read ebooks for two years on a Sony Clie 320x320 pixel screen, and would've been happy to continue; I had screen problems & battery problems.
