From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@xxxxxxxxx>
Add support for ebooksize, which is roughly the size of
a kindle (4.5in, 6.3in) with margin size of 0.2in. The
recommended changes were taken from stackexchange with
links in the code. Not all tables take nicely to the
new size and warnings are produced, these warnings are
about overfull hbox's. This size/target also enforces
single column output and increases the size of the pdf
by almost 40% in terms of number of pages. The actual size
on the disk is not all that different. The final output
though is very readable on the kindle I own.
PDF of ebooksize can be built by either:
make perfbook-eb.pdf
or
env PERFBOOK_PAPER=EB make perfbook.pdf
TODOs:
1. Make tables and some figures work nicely in this mode
2. Consider scaling the font
