In this one, look for any instance of font-size: XX; and delete those lines.

I am by no means an expert, nor am I famous (nor rich) for (or from) self-publishing.

But I have been doing it for a while, starting with a Xerox machine and a saddle stapler in 1978.

I started POD publishing in 2005, and e-publishing for the various ebook readers starting in September of last year.

Im putting my backlist back into circulation, which is a perfectly dandy use of the technology.

As hobbies go its cheaper than photography, safer than skydiving, and takes up less room than model railroading.

That the publishers pocket and the authors pocket are in the same pair of pants is interesting but unimportant.

Oracle somehow obtained ownership of the OpenOffice name, and pretty much stopped development, so the real contributors just made a new project with a new name and ran with it.

The size of the text, the typeface, the page-width -- all of those are determined by the reader, not by the publisher (as I understand it).

Save two versions: One 500x800 for Smashwords and Lulu, one 800x1280 for Kindle.

The One Thing that I lovea about MSWord is that it allows one to open just about any files.

There were too many occasions where I tried to open a file that claimed to be an Excel file or some other such organized format, switched to Word and found out I had a stinking pile of unorganized ASCII text that would never parse as data no matter how hard one tried.

And with the same, you need to re-export your data or try again.

Its stretching everyone including our data-management software provider.

There are maybe a half dozen people in the entire company who were around for the previous try, twenty years ago.) 25-megabyte Excel files, 500-megabyte Access files.

Its a little bewildering at this point, but every tool takes a while to get used to.

Although I havent seen any variation in typeface, there is some variation in text size.

For example, Eric Frank Russells Wasp, which I recently read on Jo Waltons recommendation, has a larger font than the usual (when set to the smallest possible iPhone size).

If the font is defined, your ereader settings will not affect it.

Cons: some fonts too small to be easily read on a smartphone such as an iPhone or Droid, some readers prefer larger text due to eyesight, wanting to read while working out, etc.

Right click on the book in your Calibre library and select Tweak ePub.

Youll see a list of the various components of your ePub ebook.

Look for one ending in.css and open it with Notepad, Notepadd, etc.
