I'm not a big fan of the font Times Roman in long documents.

what's with the giant font size? i've noticed this in a few other pdfs in this forum as well. is there a reason for that?
looks like it's almost threee times the size of a normal trade paperback (wich i find not really difficult to read). |

font/size suggestions?
What fonts/sizes would work well for you? The conversion software is kind of limited, but I'll see what I can do.

i've just compiled this pdf (with openoffice).
this seams about the size that is convenient for me to read over a longer time. the font is arial. page size is 12x15 cm. i haven't tried it on the iliad, since i only get my dirty hands ion it this afternoon. |

vvoi666 - could you post a photo of this on your brand-spanking-new-iLiad (not that I'm jealous over here in the slightly slower US)? |

Hmm, looks like they're probably set up for the Sony Reader too -- assuming the Libre' (beta) files work on it, which I think is probably a reasonable assumption.

A better approach would be, I think, to select from a few standard formats. The pages shown are too crowded for my taste: I want more line spacing (or, alternatively) shorter lines. Books for young children would also need larger type, shorter lines and very generous spacing. I'm beginning to get rather worried about the apparent lack of contrast in the photos: darkish grey 'print' on less darkish grey 'paper' is not particularly useful for reading: older eyes will get tired rather fast. |

here is shot of the iliad next a piece of copy paper. to me, the greyish 'paper color' of the iliad is not really a problem (i like it even better than 'normal' paper in bright sunlight). haven't tried it in dimly lit places, though. edit: the pics of my last post (3 pics) are a bit on the darker side. this one comes closer to the real screen 'whiteness' of the iliad Last edited by vvoi666; 07-21-2006 at 03:46 AM. |

I wonder if something like an IT8 target would be useful as a test image? It would show how well greyscales are rendered, and might even give some hints of colour-to-grey conversion. Hm ... now where did I put that ... Last edited by ath; 07-21-2006 at 04:08 AM. |
