Technology is always changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes just to drive us all crazy.
Thankfully there are people out there who know how to work technology to the benefit of all, and today I'm going to explain what I'm scheming, I mean working on.
Thanks to a friend of mine and really good author, I'm going to try my hand at making eBooks using a story of his and see what he thinks (he's really picky with the way he wants things). I'm going to be using two ways to do it and write down the instructions to get both ways to do it, one using Pages (Apple Word program) and MS Word (the more commonly used one).
My goal is to get the experience to make and work on ePub books to be used on devices like computers (using Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Digital Editions), Nook eReaders, Kindle eReaders, iOS products (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) and anyway else you can use an eBook. Also I want to work on making PDF formats for those who are used to Acrobat Reader.
Honestly I'm really excited turning words into magic like this and am really looking forward to this little pet project of mine
Any author out there have any questions, feel free to contact me because I think this is a really exciting turn of events
Oh and if you could, please take the quick poll at the bottom so I have an idea of what people think, formats they're used to and the like.
Lets make some magic
