iRex iLiad format
I’ve been watching the news on the iRex iLiad — announcements, specifications, rumors, etc etc. and now that it’s actually available for sale (in a limited, almost finished kind of way) I’m anxious to begin figuring out how to format texts for it. Accordingly, “iRex iLiad” is now a download option — if you happen to try it out, please let me know what you think of it! How is the font size? pagination? margins? how do the cover images look?
Update: Poking around on iRex’s website I noticed How to Make Content for your iLiad a PDF with basic instructions. The recommended document size for PDFs was 148mm x 210mm, with 5mm margins. They also had examples of 14, 11, and 8pt Arial. Times is also built in. I switched the iRex iLiad PDF format on manybooks to those specs, using 11pt Arial as the body copy. Looks pretty readable to me — I wonder if it seems small on an actual device?
