Reading habits...I like sci-fi and heroic fantasy books, also like ancient history. For reading e-books, I just use Adobe Digital Editions.

My background: I'm a veteran of the U.S. Navy (Electronics Tech), I have Bachelor of Science degrees in both Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and have been an I.T. professional for the past 30+ years.

I've been an artist ever since I was old enough to hold a pencil (I'm 58 now), and I'm a published author with three titles out so far with more coming. I currently have fans across the U.S. and in at least 13 other countries that I know of, and on one art website, I have (at this moment) 519,318 total page views.

I'm currently importing one of my new (soon-to-be-published) novels into EPUB format at the encouragement of the director of my local library. The EPUB versions will be uploaded to a site run by a consortium of libraries where patrons will be able to check out the e-book just like a regular print book.

I'm still new to doing things in xhtml (I have experience in several programming languages). I'm using Sigil 0.9.8 and Calibre 3.8 for creating and editing my EPUB files.

I've been having problems trying to get rid of what appears as extra blank lines between sentences that have a hard return and also between paragraphs. I think I may have gotten a handle on that issue, though now I'm trying to get my footnotes text to match the type and size of the regular text (seems to be a different font, and larger). Another issue will be getting certain text to appear in a nice inset block.

Now THAT'S an introduction! That wasn't hard, was it?
