Size of document, size of pics, cover
Hi, Congratulations for such an amazing app. I find missing several things:
(i) Option to modify the cover.
(ii) Option to modify the size of the pics, I find many blank espaces I can do nothing about it.
(iii) A4 format. A5 is small.12 votesunder review ·

We’ve just released a new cover designer that allows you to modify the cover freely. We will not implement A4 size. This is not a typical book size and while we appreciate that some customers would like to see that, demand is simply not enough.

allow a page for a dedication at the front of the book
I would like to dedicate my book to someone on an extra page inserted before the table of contents.

Include blog pages in the book
the book creation process should include pages as well as posts.

We will investigate this. How exactly would you like the pages to appear? As extra chapters? As a special section? As appendix?

chose the photos and how to put it in the book
I have a lot of photos in my blog, and it has a size of 320 pages. If I could organize my photos, more photos in each page, I can use less pages and paper

Can you please be specific how you would like to choose your photos? Would a simple list of photos be fine, where you can enable or disable individual photos?
Please keep in mind that some blogs have thousands of images, so we need to come-up with something that works for everybody.

Include some form of grouping in the table of contents
It would be great if the table of contents could be subdivided into sections by either month or year. This is particularly useful for blogs with lots of posts. It would also make the table of contents more easily readable. [Eg: Have an entry that says, say, "May 2008" under which (with a slight indent) the posts for that month would appear]

It would be nice to have different formats and layouts.
For example, 20x25cm, 30x38cm, etc. See lulu.com, blurb.com for reference sizes. Check out the blurb blog "slurper" - the tool does NOT work well, but their blog layout options are good.

We have no plans to offer different book sizes. As to different layouts, that is under consideration. The reason is that there is not enough demand for different sizes, but they all require special maintenance and setup effort.

Which layout customization options would you like to see? Simply some book layout templates with different fonts?

Add the support of LaTeX in text
I have already submitted a Bug report [#443128] about the LaTeX in text. It would be nice if the LaTeX command were printied in verbose mode. Right now, FeedFabrik processes them - that makes a strange layout in the generated PDF. There are some posts in my (technical) blog about LaTeX, and it would be nice if I can include them in the book as well.

Hyphenation - can you stop this
The PDF looks great, but because it's all justified, it hyphenates lots of words, which makes it harder to read. Could you try to do something about this?

Would it be better to have the text not justified but left aligned with ragged right?
Please keep in mind that disabling hyphenation can lead to very funny looking layouts. We try to stick to the rules of professional typesetting for books.

Currently, we don’t show any pages. But this is under investigation.

Format the image captions differently from the main text
Right now, the caption text under images is in exactly the same font and same font size as the body text. It would be good if there were some visual distinction, either in terms of a different font, size, or color, or even if there were a thin (unobtrusive) frame to enclose the image and the caption.

To add a scale option to zoom in / out and make sure to print the whole blog in the max 800 pages.
- You could have 2 separate zoom scales : 1 for the text and 1 for the pictures

What exactly do you mean with zoom? Adjust font size? Adjust image size?
Please keep in mind that this in no way ensures that large blogs can be printed in one book. There are huge blogs with thousands of posts that end up on thousands of pages. It is simply impossible to print that all in one book.
Our recommendation is to do annual volumes. Personally, I don’t actually think the huge 800 pages books look very nice. The best size is between 100 and 400 pages. Anything bigger deserves a second volume. Otherwise, it’ll look like an encyclopedia on your shelf.

Any plans on supporting blogs and websites from iWeb/MobileMe since Apple will be disabling these blogs in June?
It would be great if you supported blogs created in iWeb and posted to MobileMe since Apple will be disabling these blogs in June you would be helping tons of people save their content.

follow underlined text through from the original
My wordpress blog contains certain key words which are underlined for clarity of symbolic meaning. In the book view, the underlining is not shown. Unfortunately this would mean that I cannot use the product. Can it be fixed?

Underlining should be shown. This seems to be a bug. Can you please email us at support@feedfabrik.com with your blog address and a link to a post that contains underlining. We will try to fix this.

Sort by category and date
I like the ability to sort by date but it would be nice to also sort by category and then by date or vice versa and exclude/include by category.
