And for my usual rant - why do people format their work for A4

Sensible people use gpdftext and reformat for A5 or B5.

Remember its Pointless Document Format
If you cant do it in HTML give up

HTML is a terrible format for ebooks.
Funny - I've found that good HTML fits my screen exactly if I want it to - no other format does. And I can add borders or anything with my own css should I so desire. And I haven't seen an b5 or a5 screen at all (I think one of the old macs had an A4 screen. But in reality its only a few poems and a few rude messages encrypted in line starts that need fixed formatting. Cheers for the gpdftext link - I'd modified pdf2txt for that but it was bit crap
