I use calibre and it works out fine. Still I have a problem: You have a book in RTF that takes a lot of space. You convert it to LRF, all the text is OK but the images (Maps, schemes,etc) are so small that you cant use them in your reader. Anyone knows how to solve this?

Tks in advance
One way to handle it is to use OpenOffice.org to save the file as an OpenDocument file, then format that file (setting the page size to the same size as your ereader's screen), export it as a PDF, and load the resulting PDF on your ereader.

If you set the view to "Print Layout" while editing the OpenDocument file the ebook on screen will look the same as it will on your ebook reader. This includes ensuring that the graphic file(s) look exactly the way that you want.

I'm not sure how much space the resulting PDF will take, but my understanding of RTF is that it stores pictures in a way that greatly increases the file size (please correct me if I'm wrong on this). Because of this, it is possible that the final PDF might be smaller than the RTF original.

I hope this helps.
