Converting screenplays for a reader
I haven't seen this anywhere, but I work in the film business, and would love to be able to read screenplays on it instead of wasting way too much paper on way too many revisions. I can't get them to convert right though.
I have a nook, and using Calibre I can leave it as a pdf (it's too thin, zooming in makes it off-center) or convert to epub but this kills the formatting of the dialog vs action, so I can't tell which is which. Any suggestions guys? |

Bottom line is in converting a fixed layout to a six inch reader you lose the formatting. Although saving the PDF as a text file will allow for a little better read on some ereaders. Good Luck. |
