continuing on ebooks --- wondering 'bout .pdfs - Page 2

breckinshire · 03-13-2008, 02:01 PM

Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster. I'm strongly leaning towards the Sony Reader and am currently selling all of my possessions on Ebay to raise funds. In regards to the screenshot above, the text seems really large. I could read it easily if it were smaller. I understand that the Sony 505 allows you to resize the font. Could someone show me a screenshot of something like the one above in a smaller font?

Okay, here're my requirements for an e-text format:

- full choice of fonts (either selectable by the reader, or the designer)
- professional-level typesetting features / controls
- multi-line h&j algorithm, incl. user-definable hyphenations either document-wide or on a per-word basis
- the ability to check a document compleatly for all instances of widows and orphans and stacks and set the formatting so as to preclude such

AFAICT, the only thing offering all of the above is a .pdf (or Flash or one of the other publishing-oriented formats (e.g., XPS) --- I'd be interested in other tools / formats which address such though.
