I found after I loaded a epub file created using the LRF settings that the font sizes were very small...after talking with kovid I found out that the settings they use for the sizes is different from LRF, epub, and mobi.

I experiemented quite a bit last weekend and found that no matter what I did to the built in size adjuster in Calibre it did not seem to affect the font size within the story once I loaded it to my device.

I did find that using this css override code seemed to help.

p {margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;padding:0pt; text-indent:15pt; font-size: 12.5pt}

I'm not sure I'll be making more epubs though because there is no right justify supported by the Sony PRS, for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to embedd the page number next to the narrative which I find annoying also, some html tags don't seem to work.

The only advantage I'm seeing to epub at the moment is that it loads VERY fast compared to the LRF (no pagination problems) text resizing is also incredibly fast.

But considering that only the PRS-505/700 can read epub..I feel like it's better to stick with creating LRF and mobi output files.

speaking of mobi...has anyone downloaded the mobi version of either of these two stories?

In the City of Seven Walls or The Crown of the Summer Court?

Those were my first two attempts of providing mobi formatted stories to the Ebook Library but I have no clue how it truly looks on the Kindle or Cybook? Can anyone let me know how the font size worked? is it too big, too small? or about right?
