Two months later, and I'm coming close to finally finishing this project -- it's been a lot of work, especially since I'm distributing the book in 10 different formats (6 differentely sized PDFs, including one sized for e-Ink screens and one for iPhones/iPod touches, plus two different HTML versions, an ePub version and a mobi version.)
Since I never "solved" the issues I started this thread about, for the .mobi version I've stooped to using a tilde ~ for negation rather than overlining, and small inline images for the alephs.
(I've got an Appendix that lists changes from the print editions, some of which are actual honest-to-god fixes nearly a century after initial publication--since I had help from someone who actually read the original manuscript!)
Anyway, I'm here to ask for a favor. Is there anyone out there with a
first or
second generation Kindle who wouldn't mind testing the .mobi version for me? I want to make sure it looks OK on the Kindle before uploading it here (and regarding it as a "final" version).
(If you have another device, you'd be better off using one of the other formats; but as mentioned above, I wanted one suitable for the Kindle in particular.)
If yes, I'm particularly interested in what the alephs look like. You can find them mainly in chapters 8 and 9 (e.g., "original" page 84 or 92; the original page numbers are marked inline; compare the HTML version linked to below if need be).
I've seen what it looks like in MobiPocket Reader and in Calibre's viewer, but I was really hoping to hear from someone actually using a Kindle.
