I'm beginning to research possible designs for an e-book I'll be publishing in the next month or two (assuming I can escape this "work" thang that occupies so many waking hours <g>). My plan is to produce the e-book in landscape (horizontal) format so it fits better on the screen.

I've got a few ideas for the design, but am the first to admit I'm not a graphic designer. So: Do you have any favorite examples of such books -- laid out in ***landsape*** format -- that you can recommend as inspiration? (Ideally, with sample pages available online so I can see how other authors have tackled this particular design challenge.)

Send along your suggestions, and I'll compile the results for copyediting-l and techwr-l in a few days. TIA!
