6 Books from JA Konrath Blog
I found this on the twitter earlier today.
Not only does JA Konrath talk about the construction of an eBook, he's got 7 of them for free. 3 from him, 2 from Blake Crouch, 2 from Barry Eisler. If he's giving Eisler a seal of approval, he's probably awesome, I've not heard of him, but will be giving them a chance. http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/ |

Thanks. You miscounted by the way. It's 7 books not 6.
Correction the author seems to have miscounted. |

Thanks, jhempel24!
I appreciate that you linked to the author's blog, rather than directly to the Amazon pages. I already had most of these books, but I really enjoyed reading Konrath's blog. It's obvious that he's considered carefully the full "reader's experience" in the design and assembly of an ebook. He discusses some pet peeves I have about the presentation of ebooks, and how he handles them; and solutions to presentation problems that I hadn't even been bothered by (but will be, now that his suggestions have been offered). I also like that he makes a point of praising those who help him turn out the type of presentation he wants. KentE |

Konrath has one of those "must read" blogs in my opinion...he's got some good views on things.
