Best PDF page format ???
Hello All!
This topic has probably been discussed, but I cannot find it... What is the best page size, margin, font size etc.. to use in a word processor like Word or Pages or Open Office that I can use and then export it as PDF to my Cybook. To use in Portrait, not landscape I am not creating a book so I do not necessarily want to use Mobi Creator and such, plus I am a Mac user... I am just making a list with a description of all the books I bought at Fictionwise. Basically I am copying and pasting the description of every book that I have, found on Fictionwise website. Thanks Georges |

I have uploaded some books in PDF format here. Have a look at them, if you like them, what I used is more or less (I used LaTeX, not Word):
9x12cm page size. 9pt font size. 2mm margins all around. |

Which font do you use? Is Computer Modern still the default font for LaTeX? I found that Warnock Pro (an OTF from Adobe) is quite readable on the Cybook. But of course, I do not use LaTeX anymore (but that's a different story). Would you mind, to show us your LaTeX-Document-Header for your PDF's?
