It's not like we aren't familiar with what you wrote about...

Not much in it you don't already know, though. It talks about prepping the original manuscript file, and how to get it ready for conversion. This is the most time-consuming part. Then about the actual conversion, at least to the most popular formats. Then, finally, about the presence of online communities where people willingly help you get your book into ebook formats.

It will be interesting to see how many Bulletin readers pop up here, citing the article, and asking for assistance.

BTW, I've noticed that downloads of Strange Attractors, while respectable, are lagging well behind Neptune Crossing. C'mon, guys--we can't have a downward spiral here! Drink up! It's on the house!

Give folks time to read the first one.
(And there will doubtless be a few who read the first, say "Nah, not my thing." and pass on the others, but meanwhile, I'd say the effort has been well worth the while.)
