## How to use it
1. **Add the book.** Drop one or more EPUB files onto EPUB to PDF.
2. **Pick a page size.** In the right-hand panel, choose A5 (book), A4 or US Letter.
3. **Convert.** Click Convert. The chapters are laid out one after another in reading order, with their pictures.
4. **Open the PDF.** It's saved in a dated folder in Downloads › OneMacTools with the book's file name.

## Options
- **Page size:** A5 (book), the default, gives book-like pages that read well on a tablet. A4 or US Letter suit printing on standard paper.

## Tips
- Choose A5 for reading on an iPad or in a PDF app; the text is a comfortable size on screen.
- Choose A4 or US Letter if you're going to print. Then use PDF Pages per Sheet to put two book pages on each sheet and save paper.
- Each chapter starts on a new page, as in a printed book.
- Books with DRM, such as most bought from online stores, can't be converted. DRM-free books, like many from public-domain libraries, work well.
- Large books take a while because every chapter is laid out separately. The progress bar shows how far it has got.

Drop the EPUB onto EPUB to PDF, choose a page size and click Convert. The whole book is laid out as a PDF, chapter by chapter.

A5 (book) is closest to a paperback and reads well on a tablet. Pick A4 or US Letter if you'll print it.
