So it appears that at least 80% of John's "toil" consists of scanning other people's work and dropping it into stock calendar forms (on the plus side, as I'm also an amateur photographer, I'm seeing a possible new market here ... I didn't know people bought illustrated calendars for their Kindles). Frankly, given the post I replied to earlier, I was expecting something involving literary effort, not just a few scans of out-of-copyright pictures.
There is also exactly one of those five items (the Victorian fairies) which has a review. The reviewer complains about the size, the scanning quality, and the lack of important dates. John's reply amounts to ... well, I'm not going to be as critical as I would consider appropriate, as I try to be more civilized than that, so go read it for yourself. Just one hint: "it's all the Kindle's fault" doesn't fix anything.
