In what format do you read FelBooks (poll)?

Post by Shadowhawk »

In what format do you read, or in what format would you like to read works by Fel? If there is some format you want to read in, or some format you do convert the stories to, add a comment (reply).

I also then convert the file fromn HTML to Isilo format to read on the go with my PocketPC (http://www.isilo.com and http://www.isilox.com) I currently have all of the Books up to Demons Bane in a 7 MB file that has hyperlinks in it to take with me on the road when traveling or waiting somewhere.

I read them in .doc format if I'm at my own computer, or the HTML online if I'm on someone else's computer. It's nice to be able to have both.

Kind of do the same thing here but like to use doc so I can enlarege the typeface. When eyestrain from too much screen reading starts to bother me, I convert the doc file to Times New Roman 14, reformat to two columns and print on the laser.

With any decent web browser (Mozilla/Firefox, Opera, probably Konqueror; I don't know about IE and derivatives) you can enlarge the font size and/or enlarge the page. Besides, I think that at least for newer converted chapters the default size is quite sane.

And I don't mean changing base font size globally, but change it per webpage (View/Text Zoom in Mozilla/Firefox, or Ctrl-+/-; -/+ in Opera if I am not mistaken).

I don't usually have a problem with default fonts. However, when I do extended reading such as reading all the Tarrin stories over a month or so, eyestrain becomes a problem. If I screw with browser font sizes, some web sites become unreadable. It is SO much easier on my 50 year old eyes to read from a printed page under an old fashioned incandescent lamp. :-)

I use the HTML and have a great reader called uBook that reads HTML Richtext, even if they are zipped! I can't seem to get confortable when I read on the PC so the Pocket PC is the best choice for me. 8)

I use HTML.
I also use Note Tab to strip the old HTML out re post to my own server with my own HTML with the nice backgrounds and working links to each page.
Using Firefox I can zoom the text to as big or little as I want.
