Yes, ISTR that one (or both?) of them don't handle tables. Fortunately for me, I rarely have to deal with tables, so it isn't a limitation in my case.

So you need a layout without wide tables. |

Absolutely! But now and again someone comes up with a neat method that DOES work across a lot of devices and, when it does fail, fails gracefully. I'd love to be able to say "DO do that!" more.

We've done plays and screenplays since then, but I don't jump through those hoops any longer. Either they understand the limitations upfront, or we don't take the job. I send them to view a book on Amazon that has a sample in it, and that's the format--take it or leave it. Between screenplays/plays and poetry, life is just too short. I'm all for doing whatever possible to give a book that extra "something," but not when we're killing ourselves for less than the price of a cut-and-color in Los Angeles, and the gig resembles something that should have Lalo Schiffrin music and, God help us all, Tom Cruise trying to accomplish it.

I have had much trouble with tables on readers. I now find a good representation of the table in html and use a screen capture to convert it to an image. I have also found that the GIF format seems best for reproducing text. Images always work on readers.

Are you publishing on the Kindle platform? The HD tablets (especially the 8.9 inch model but also significant on the Fire HD) render images in their actual size, so if you follow the 600x800 standard, the image is smaller than it need be. (It will zoom, but I'm not convinced that every reader knows that.) Do you ignore that, upload a larger image, or specify a relative width (or height)?
