About that wee potential problem I mentioned before. I apologise that I'm no technotop, but it seems -- in my haste to send ebooks to MR friends here before the 'official' opening of RAEBW on Sunday (March 6) -- some files I've sent out (not all, by any means) will not display properly on all platforms (not all, by any means).
I've been sending from my own stock here in France, you see, some of which now turn out to have been the files prepared for test and not those validated and eventually uploaded to our own store and other third-party retailers.
Here's a round robin I'm sending out on new requests:
Hello there. It appears that some ebook editions (especially ePubs) I’ve sent out from my own stock here in France have a flaw that shows up on one or two machines. They may well be just fine for you. But to be on the safe side and to ensure than all files are ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PERFECT, I’m currently uploading the entire catalogue again from files sent overnight by my technical partner, Tony Szmuk, in Canada. I hope to be through with that long and tedious job later today and assure you that these ebooks (plus bonuses to compensate for the delay) will be with you within the next twenty-four hours. Many, many apologies. Neil
So, if anyone finds when they open any books I've sent them -- whenever that may be, there is no time limit -- please send an email to my personal address (below) and I'll immediately replace it or them.
As they say, 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' It appears I might have -- very occasionally on this occasion -- jumped the gun in my enthusiasm to get stuff over to you here at Mobile Read before the rush kicks in (I remember the pressure of RAEBW in past years).
I have a hefty job ahead of me now and I doubt I'll see my bed until the wee-wee hours again, but delays will be minimal. All requests, I assure you, met within twenty-four hours, and any slip ups will be compensated for, not only with immediate free relacement, but additional free book or books.
A thousand apologies to anyone who hits a snag. And apologies also to tech partner Tony, who is rightfully proud of the quality of his work and the beauty of the files he creates so painstakingly. He's too close a pal to blame me outright for this slip-up, but I bet a curse or two has been mumbled under his breath.
PS: SPECIAL thanks to Weedfreak, who was the first to bring this to our attention in a detailed message. His heads-up is very much appreciated.
