If the material currently exists in a PDF that's fine. But if at all possible an ebook should be in html, and a pdf should be converted into html.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 8:52 AM, Diane Serley <<a href="mailto:olpc.aunti.mame@gmail.com">olpc.aunti.mame@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

There's nothing that explains what standards/type/format to use to create e-book collections.<br>

Fonts should be unformatted and in HTML, that way they are:<br><br>a) Reusuable<br>b) Extensible and the formatting can be viewed via View-source<br>c) Fonts can be set by the user ala about:config<br>d) Reflowed on screen rotation<br>

Diane asked a great question today that I didn't know the answer to:<br>
<br>
Is there a preferred/recommended font size (or for that matter, font and<br>
formatting) for ebooks being packaged for the XO? She's converting some<br>
public domain stuff for the library, and wants to have the optimal<br>
reading ratio if possible.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
