Bunch of new Kindle Fires in the pipeline
by James Adcock 17 Jun '12

http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20120615PD206.html Although personally I have become very discouraged re the "format wars" between EPUB, MOBI, and MOBI8 formats, where in practice what I see is the quality of ebook formatting - both free and paid books - going DOWN in end user reading quality, not up. All I can conclude is that a bunch of organizations feel it is in their best interests, for whatever reason or reasoning, to publish crap.

From PG to CreateSpace--Bhagavata Purana
by James Simmons 30 May '12

30 May '12

Many of you helped me get the "Bhagavata Purana" into PG and also helped me create an index for the Create Space version of the book. After three proof copies I finally have something good enough to sell: https://www.createspace.com/3859442 It should be available on Amazon sites worldwide in a few days with "Search Inside The Book" so you can see how it came out. I have also created a cleaned up e-book version which is awaiting approval by Amazon. Since Amazon already approved two other people who just slapped a quick and dirty cover on the existing PG EPUB I suppose they'll approve mine too. In my description I give the URL for downloading the PG version for free and explain why mine is worth .99 more than that. As for the Create Space version I made, it is competing with this: http://www.amazon.com/study-Bhagavata-Purana-Esoteric-Hinduism/dp/117800186… and also this: http://www.amazon.com/study-Bhagavata-Purana-Esoteric-Hinduism/dp/117764143… It's going to be tough competing with stock photos of railroad tracks and sailboats. At least mine is cheaper! It looks like my e-book made it to Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Bhagavata-Purana-Corrected-Introduction-ebook/dp/B008… James Simmons

Sorry about that -- I'm not sure how this address became un-moderated and managed to post link spam. I've tweaked a few settings in the mailman software. -- Greg On Thu, May 03, 2012 at 02:44:50AM +0000, Badoo wrote: > Ricky Wong left a message for you... > > Its sender and content will be shown only to you and you can delete it at any time.
