Illustrator and reader.
Hi folks
My name is Phill and I live in the West Midlands in England and I am a freelance illustrator. I was given a PR-600 for my birthday last year and I am *HOOKED* Being a creative sort, I am now on a mission to bring illustrations to ereaders in a way which doesnt interrupt the readers flow (I have read some books where the text and the illustrations merge weirdly into each other and others where they seem to demand whole blank pages before and after them...most peculiar.) So...if anyone has any hints as to how I might do this, or pet hates about ebook illustrations that you would like someone to address then do let me know! I make no promises (I am a noob after all) but I'm on a journey so anything could be achieved.... Phil |

Hello Phil, and welcome to Mobileread. I've just been reading "Gentlemen of the Road", by Michael Chabon. Not his best writing, but it does have illustrations which seem to work quite well in epub format. Don't know about the coding to achieve what they did, but it seems like a good example.

Good to have your new company, Phil. Betcha you'd get one heck of an enthusiastic response if you opened a thread with your idea in one of the sub forums. Very best wishes and good luck. Neil
