This ebook truly is a work of art.
Has anyone seen an epub of Alice in Wonderland with the Tenniel illustrations that is this high quality? If not, I may try to create one. Troy |

I don't know about the quality, though. I can tell you they don't have the text wrapped around pictures because I didn't find a really portable solution (something that would work in large and small screens, portrait and landscape...). |

Oh Zelda, this looks amazing. Congratulations! And thanks!
One question, for anyone who can help me: how do I download it? If I click on the link, it opens in my Firefox, looks beautiful, but when I try to save it from the File menu it isn't recognised as an ePub file, and wants to be saved as discreet xhtml files. If I right-lick on the link, and save the linked file, I just get a php file. I want to save it to my new iRiver Story as a test of its screen-formatting capabilities. But how? Edited to add: Ahhh, I think it might be the ePub plug-in in Firefox. I tried reading this page in Google Chrome, and I can save it fine. Zelda, again: many thanks. I'm off to try the file on my iRiver Story. Oy, I hope I'm not disappointed ... Last edited by MacEachaidh; 07-02-2010 at 01:53 AM. Reason: Realised why it wasn't working |

I read this last month, and enjoyed it so much I have started the sequel. It came pre-loaded with my jetBook Lite, but I read Zelda's version.
I had never heard of the book before I joined MR! Thanks Zelda! |

It is interesting that it hyphenates "Willi-/am". It indicates it could hyphenate other words, which is good for narrow widths.

It certainly looks very neat, and I do like the red/brown font on the cream background.

Geoff, I like the red/brown font on cream background, too. This is how it looks with black text and the backlight turned down. Last edited by cbell; 07-26-2010 at 07:56 PM. |

I find your file an enormously pleasing piece of layout in any context; the fact that it's been done in a technology that very few seem able to employ impressively, and has the added twinkle of being almost completely arcane to me, and that your coding is proving to be so robustly portable ... look, I don't mean to sound fawning, but for me that makes it utterly gobsmacking. I'd previously seen screenshots of your ePub all over the web, whenever people were talking about e.books and their reading devices, obviously holding your coding up as an example of "Just What Can Be Done With The Format", without my knowing where it had come from, and without credit being given to you. (That's the darker side of public domain efforts, to my way of thinking. If people aren't directly required to acknowledge someone's work, they generally don't bother giving the publishing space over to making the gesture freely.) It throws a curious light on commercial e.book products, of which I have several now, and have never seen one that came close to your efforts in layout. Different books need different looks, obviously, but so many instances of commercial electronic publishing seem to take a "near enough is good enough" approach to their products that it disgusts me. So, my sincere congratulations, Zelda, and thanks for the delight you've provided. On a happier note, I was beaming (and a little relieved, I admit) to see that it translated beautifully onto the iRiver Story, a device that has proved quite robust and pleases me immensely, but that does have shortcomings in the way it handles some of the formats it purports to support. (I've read enough of these forums now to realise that all e.readers seem to, in their own way.) I don't have the means for creating a screenshot of your book displayed on the Story, but it looks as good as any of the examples I've seen posted here from other devices. Thanks so much! |
