Which of the following formats creates the best .epub output?
Ello :D
I have bought an ebook , and it was provided in the following formats: .lit, .pdf, .rtf, and .txt.
I know I can use Calibre to create a .epub file to read on my reader, but I was wondering if anyone knows which of the four formats will produce the best .epub ouput.
By best I mean the clearest, most readable layout with the least amount of weird / haphazard line breaks or unrecognised / garbled symbols.
I am also using osx (macintosh), so I know I could open the .rtf, and .txt. in Pages.app and save as epub, but in my (limited) experience this produces worse results than Calibre does.
I want to save to .epub because I have a Sony reader and find epubs display on it (in my opinion) the most clearly, and also supports font upscaling / text re-flow more accurately
Any help / advice much appreciated.
