I'm ready to make multiple pdfs for a project. For the print pdf, I've decided to go with 12pt font and the book documentclass defaults for page geometry.
Does anyone have recommendations for pdfs that are intended to be read on screen? Would it be right to do away with two-sided formatting? What base font and page geometry is recommended? Should I make multiple onscreen versions, say for laptop vs tablet vs cell phone?

Why have a screen version of PDF instead of using HTML?

For offline reading with an electronic device. At least until MBX epub is ready.

Definitely, one-sided would be good.
There are some blank pages inserted automatically right now in the first few
pages, but you could just kill some unnecessary templates (eg, "half-title") but
you might have trouble getting the "oneside" option into the "documentclass"
command.
This is:
https://github.com/rbeezer/mathbook/issues/130
Long-term, with a switch such as "latex.oneside," and more care about
"clearpage" versus "cleardoublepage" it should be possible to accomodate one-
and two-sided.
For FCLA I make/made the following. All of the display math in FCLA was
jiggered to fit within 5 inches at 10pt.
book: 7 x 10 LSI print-on-demand, physical paper dimensions
10pt, twoside
\geometry{paperheight=10in,paperwidth=7in,top=0.75in,bottom=0.50in,left=1.25in,right=0.75in}
print: two-sided for 8.5x11 paper
10pt, twoside
\geometry{paperheight=11in,paperwidth=8.5in,top=0.75in,bottom=0.50in,left=2.00in,right=1.50in}
tablet: 3:4 aspect ratio, 5-inch text width, half-inch margins
10pt, oneside
\geometry{paperheight=8in,paperwidth=6in,top=0.50in,bottom=0.50in,left=0.50in,right=0.50in}
phone: 9:16 aspect ratio, 5-inch text width, mostly quarter-inch margins
10pt, oneside
\geometry{paperheight=9.777in,paperwidth=5.5in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.25in,left=0.25in,right=0.25in}

Two-sided v. one-sided for LaTeX output has been implemented.
