And commercially available digital books in PDF format (which is what I'm referring to) is not usually done in 8.5 x 11 or A4 size because books don't generally appear in that size paper. They're SMALLER than that. |
most pdfs that I have encountered are 8.5x11 or similar in size, especially things for school, or work, or magazines.
books distibuted in pdf might be slightly different, but the only case I had with it it was 8.5x11 as well
butt I usually avoid them like the plague, ones made for the reader look beautiful though, but reflow was still kinda crappy.
I never said pdfs couldn't be other sizes. but I would say a vast majority are exactly that size.
