Colleagues

A friend of mine asked me to produce a small book of three of her short 
stories for FeedARead.com from a word document.  On looking at the site 
I suggested I do a conversion to pdf since it would look much better and 
FeedARead recommend uploading pdf over word as well.  So I set about 
using Context to produce a simple pdf for upload using the structure below:

\definepapersize[leela][width=5in, height=8in]

\setuppapersize[leela][leela]

\setuplayout[backspace=0.75in,cutspace=0.5in,width=fit]

\setupindenting[yes,medium,next]

\setuppagenumbering[state=stop]

\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]

\setupalign[nonhyphenated]

\setuphead[section-3][number=no,align=middle][alternative=doublesided,location=footer]

\setuptolerance[vertical,verystrict]

\setuptolerance[horizontal,verytolerant]

\starttext

\midaligned{\tfd{Title Page}}

\page

FeedAReed blurb and copyright notice goes here.

\setupcombinedlist[content][list={chapter,section,subsection}]

\completecontent

\page[empty]

\setuppagenumbering[state=start,alternative=doublesided,location=footer]

\startsection[title={Knuth}]

\input knuth\par

\stopsection

\page

\startsection[title={Zapf}]

\input zapf\par

\stopsection

\page

\startsection[title={Tufte}]

\input tufte\par

\stopsection

\stoptext


As you can see it's nothing fancy but is produces nice copy. However, 
when my friend uploaded to FeedARead she received back this comment:

/Please note that you have uploaded TWO pages of your book per one 5 
inch wide x 8 inch high page e.g. on your file there would be two book 
pages of print per page and not one per page as required./


I did notice that when viewed in Adobe Reader, V11.0.6, it displays two 
pages on the screen at a time but on checking the documents properties 
it shows the correct page size so I thought it was OK. I've had a look 
on the wiki but haven't found anything obviously wrong in what I've done 
above. Is their something I'm missing in \definepapersize or 
\setuppapersize? I really don't want to have to tell her to upload the 
word doc.

Thanks and Best Wishes
Keith
