Thanks so very, very much, everyone, for all your replies (not to mention all your help and great advisement all along)! I'm deep, deep in thought at the moment -- I got my ISBN number just yesterday, and much to my great surprise I got my CIP data today. Only thing holding me back is waiting for my application with Apple to go through (already in the works) and... well, REALLY making sure that I'm REALLY happy with my ebook, of course.
And that's the hard part! I'm thinking... really, really thinking. I'll get back to y'all with a better response (on your other replies) tomorrow or something, but in the meantime I just wanted to say thanks, so much, once again! Back to my thinking cap (and what's going on underneath it)... |

You are the only one I know of that runs an ebook conversion company. If JSWolf, mrmikel, Jellby did, I would have have cracked the same "e-boo..." joke if they were ranting after a long day of complaints about e-books from clients. I meant zero offense. Side Note: Did you receive my PM I sent last night? I was wondering if I could get your input on some ideas I had. Last edited by Tex2002ans; 10-31-2013 at 03:57 PM. |

Yes, I have the PM. It's not really short, so I'm giving it the attention it deserves. Wait--I really meant that. Not dismissively. It requires thought, so...I'm thinking about it. And I thought it might be helpful to you if I discussed it with the crews, too, as they have more hands-on all day than I. I know the answers, but...they might have further input that would be more helpful than my blithe, "oh, yeah, we do this THAT way..." kind of thing. Hitch |

Actually, what I would have said was to kick back and enjoy watching the Red Sox win the World Series. That's something that's gender neutral and fun to do.

MWAHAHAHAHAH. I'm naturally too gracious a person to EVER say "I told you so," so, of course, I won't say it.
And how do you think Ferdo feels about the Kimster? Goptta admit, I was really surprised. (to the mods: yes, I know. I've been bad and hijacked the thread.) Hitch |

...but I gather that that's iBooks specific, and, as you stated, probably wouldn't work on other platforms? Quote:
I was going to use that project to try to get it out there beyond just iBooks, and learn whatever quirks and idiosyncrasies of Kindle, etc. -- and once I've got that under my belt, and a little more experience, then maybe I'll go back and try to come up with a "second edition" of my first book. I have no idea how, or what I'll path I'll take -- maybe I'll find another font, which may not look as good as my current one, but at least it'll work cross-platform, or maybe I'll just do those "olde" page up simply as graphics. I just don't know -- yet -- but I'll figure something out eventually, and in the meantime I'm happy that my book at least works on iBooks, and if only on that platform, and even if only for some unspecified brief moment in time (until they change things over there and it doesn't work anymore), it was "out there" in the way that I'd always wanted it to be.
