Smaller Page Size

The most important consideration to keep in mind is that any given eBook may be viewed on pages that can be any size, from as small as 3"x4" to as large as 9"x12". Large landscape tables and folio graphics are difficult, but trade books and most nonfiction are easy to adapt to these dimensions. Think in terms of paperback layout rather than quarto layout.

Microsoft Reader was carefully designed so that minimally formatted content is highly readable in its default state. For eBooks that are relatively simple from a layout point of view, such as novels and biographies, it's best to minimize the amount of formatting applied. That being said, Microsoft Reader does support highly detailed and advanced layout options for titles that require it.
