10 Signs you spend too much time in Sigil
I'm assured by a forum member of great experience that this isn't just me.
10 Signs you spend too much time in Sigil
1. You don't read any real books (dead tree) because you've lots of ebooks waiting.
2. You stop reading finished ebooks in ordinary readers because you've read them already when you "made them fit to read" in Sigil.
3. You've not the read the book properly because you were too worried about the layout.
4. You realise that you've lost the meaning of a sentence because you were too worried about where the punctuation went.
5. You've given up reading in text views and just use code view because you can see bad coding which is hidden when the text seems to work OK, but will need correcting - Just In Case.
6. You have a guide to CSS permanently loaded on your tablet. If you have a guide to regex permanently loaded on your tablet then you have it really badly.
7. When you read a well-edited mobi version of a book, you make sure you have an epub version to hand - just in case you spot something which needs editing. And then you always DO spot something that needs editing.
8. You keep all the epub versions you can find of a book, so that you have the maximum chance of getting a conclusive reading. And then keep a pdf version as well so that even bad OCR might give a proper clue.
9. You buy a paper copy of a book so that you can determine what the only corrupt ebook should have said, so that you can have a good ebook which you got to save you finding the shelf space for paper books.
10. You get given an audiobook, and your first instinct is to start loading Audacity so that you can alter the recording levels if it's a bad transfer from cassette.
