I'm interested in putting together a Kindle version of LTS, but wanted to send a test file to someone who has one. Anyone want to volunteer to check it out?
Kindle DOES has an emulator app I can use to preview the files as they would appear. Here's the tricky part: LTS is heavy on graphics, and Kindle wants to separate images. That means all the complicated layouts I've done get taken apart, with one piece per page (one page has a background, then a page with a butterfly, then a page with a piece of the letter, then a page of letter text). Kindle does not preserve original fonts, either--it converts the decorative fonts in LTS to a basic page. The consequence is that you get a mish-mash of random graphics, followed by a text letter.
There is a workaround: convert the entire LTS book to a collection of 136 image snapshots, instead of 136 pages. In other words, make a book of nothing but pictures of the pages! They look GREAT in Kindle--exactly like b/w versions of the actual LTS pages. BUT, since they are pictures of pages, the text is not searchable. You can read it, but you can't search, highlight, or copy text anymore. Which might be fine for LTS--people aren't using it for research, they're reading it as art and inspiration--but it is a drawback.
Oh, and using this method also makes the page appear in full-color on the Kindle for iPad app.
I am able to receive email on my Nook but I'm not sure that it would read the same as a traditional Nook book. I can download from ePUB, etc but most of those are public domain sites.
I'm not sure if that helps or not.
