exporting InDesign page to email

Has anyone tried to export a page of an InDesign (CS4) document so that it can be emailed and easily read on an iPone, PDA or similar? What's the quickest and easiest way of doing this?

PDF.

Ah, but we had a complaint that this wasn't easy enough to read. Any other suggestions? Is there an idea way to get the page into the body of an email (rather than as an attachment)?

Not easy enough to read? Virtually everyone has a copy of the FREE Adobe Reader or (on the Mac) Preview. Sheesh!

The only other, much less satisfying way, would be to export a JPEG file.

Or, you could export the TEXT ONLY from your stories.

Phones are great but hardly ideal to read any PDF.

Not ideal, but I have no problem reading PDFs on my iPhone.

Me neither. Just not something I would want to do several times a day, every day. Same with email. It's a convenience but I would never use iPhone as primary email, incoming or outgoing.
