Hi Guiyoforward,
Thanks for your message. I am a little confused, are you suggesting that a file on the site should be renamed, and if so, which one? Cheers, Andy |

Thanks for explaining, Kindleworm... And glad to hear the download is working. Added an Epub version for anyone in the "curious/lurking" category...
Hey, I followed the instructions on your site and subscribed to your news feed via Calibre. Excited to try that. |

Nice book.
But no need to put the footer about ebook after every chapter. Anyway, the book is useful and helpful for Kindle fans. |

Nice work. Keep it up!
As far as number of devices goes - I don't think there is a limit to that. I have 7 devices and 5 apps currently registered. There is, however, a limit to a number of devices that can have a given book opened at the same time. Normally it is 6 but publishers can tweak this number of individual books. |
