I thought I would try "Tsar Wars (Agents of ISIS, Book 1)." It is 50% off and looks like an interesting series.
Update: The formatting on the epub and LRF versions is horrible. I can't believe those versions made it through Smashword's Quality Control. Last edited by JRM34857; 07-07-2010 at 07:54 AM. |

I'm very sorry for the formatting problems. Since I don't have an e-reading device myself, I can only check out the HTML and PDF versions on my computer, and they seemed okay. I hope you'll manage some way to read the book, and that you'll enjoy it once you get past the technical difficulties--and I'll pass your complaints on to Smashwords.

Thank you for the advice Bex. My situation is a little more complicated even than that. Right now, for reasons passing human comprehension I'm having to run a Linux system on a Mac machine, and very little seems to be compatible with it. I'll give some of those apps a try and see if I can get anything to work.
@JRM34857: With Mark Coker's help, I've upgraded the formatting on Tsar Wars. If you go back to the site and download it again (you don't have to pay for it a second time) the newest version may be in much better shape. Please let me know if this version is any better. |

Thanks for the sympathetic ear and the additional advice. I hope you'll find something of mine you like. If you find anything that's formatted hinky, let me know. I'm starting on a crusade to re-format all of the books there to make them better.

One book I did find an issue with is Agents of ISIS 05 - Stellar Revolution. I was reading this book away on holidays using my PDA running Freda (ePUB) and the book completely locked the PDA up. I am still not sure if Freda was too blame as I loaded another book without issue. Cheers Mike |
