That is a little unfair on PDF! PDF is excellent for archiving documents as IF they were printed. It saves on trees and it saves on disk space (compared to digitized images of documents). The fixed page size and numbering is extremely important when you are referring to some portion of a document. It doesn't make sense to say, "in the third paragraph of page 20" and then because the text was re-flowed to fit in a 3" screen that paragraph is in page 100... Another big advantage of PDF (when loaded in a PC, Win or Linux, and probably on a Mac) is that you can embed the fonts so you know your page will look *exactly* like you designed it. Apparently this does not work in a Kindle, so it is expected that they will look different because fonts are being replaced (as in an epub) Just my 2 cents ;) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Write2epub-tp3732714p3735140.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
