Google Docs makes your documents e-reader-friendly

A small update for Google Docs will be particularly useful for you e-reader-toting users. The app now lets you turn your files into .epub files, meaning your docs can be read without having to worry about it fitting properly into an e-book reader. .epub is one of the most popular open formats for ebooks and it’s supported in almost all e-readers, except for the Kindle. One of the big advantages of the format over PDF is that it automatically adjusts texts for different screen sizes or you can set that to a fixed layout as well. But if you want to give your readers more leeway, they can adjust font and text size themselves. The format also allows for GIF, JPEG, PNG, and SVG images.

So, if you’ve been dying to get your manuscript read and critiqued by friends, you can now do so easily with Google Docs. The update should roll out to all users in the next three days.
