I changed the css of marxists.org using Stylus. I think it ended up pretty good.

Do you do something similar? Even if it’s just changing the font on the ebook reader?

    That’s pretty smart. I usually just try to find the epubs so I can use my own reader w/ its styles, but not everything is in epub form.

      The only thing that I don’t like on marxists.org is the large paragraph width, though. This one looks a bit better for me (Font: Source Serif 4):

      Pretty big waste of space with black bars, but it’s nice for focus. I did think that the right side of the screenshot looked good.

        That looks nice, and I agree about the paragraph width.

        I’m a fan of double-page view on landscape layouts because I read better when I can see contextual pages.

          Oh yeah, I love double-page view too. Calibre’s default setting of page A - page B --> page turn -->page B - page C is the best in my opinion.

          Maybe it’s possible to do this with Javascript for the online page. I’ll see if I can do that in the future. As for now, saving page in PDF works.
