Beautiful work! I love the illustrations...

Would it be too much to ask for you to either produce a copy without bolded text? Slightly smaller font size would be nice too

[Donnageddon]

radius, I appreciate the feedback. I have used your advice for my recent ebook formatting, but unfortunatley, I do not know how to re-engineer the file with bookdesigner. (all I have left are the .lrf and .prc files.unless I were to start from scratch... maybe later)

Any help would be appreciated.

You didn't keep your BD working files? Bad move - you never know when you'll need to re-edit a book!

[Donnageddon]

True, Harry. I always make a BD file with every change, but was dismayed to find that it did not save these files as a discreet file (writing over each new file "saved"). Now having just read Patricia's helpful BD hints in the wiki, I know I must go into the BD saved files folder and rename it and save it in a separate file (along with pictures, etc).

BD is a wonderful, if cranky and not completely intuitive tool.

Thanks!

Oh no! Those are just my personal reading preferences! I know a lot of forum members prefer the bold text and larger font size because they feel the PRS-500 doesn't offer enough contrast so that makes it easier to read for them.

I like smaller base font size myself because I have a button to make the text bigger, but none to make it smaller

Thanks again for your great packaging work...
