I have just received the cover image. Here 'tis.

Don't know if he's added the copyright notices yet.

Well, I thought that was going to show up as an attachment. Is that okay?

It is showing up as an attachment. That how attached images work. Perfectly OK.

Could someone try the attached files on your PRS-505 and PRS-700? They're automated calibre conversions from Mobipocket. I want to know if they are good enough.

Thank you.


FILES REMOVED. Thanks to those who downloaded it.

Nate,

The ePub version looks great on the PRS-505. Good job!
I did the transfer over to my reader with Calibre. The only minor glitch was that in the metadata the author showed up as "Mike & Brotherton." Easy enough to fix, though.

I've completed the lit version of the anthology, and I've sent Jeffrey (starrigger) a PM asking him where I should send it to, or whether I should just sit on it for the time being.

Since I posted that, I've gotten a volunteer to do the eReader and PDF, so I'll pass your source files on to her when we've got the whole book.

I know about PDF from Open Office, but didn't know that eReader was an option.

Just a reminder that no finished versions should be made until the final changes are made to the web versions. Besides the copyright notices, Mike said he was going to add an afterword to his own story.

I'd buy that book, even only for the cover

(yes, I know it's free, but still, that cover will make me want to buy the pbook!)

The book is done. It looks very good.

The delay at the moment is a bug I found in calibre's epub making process. One story uses odd punctuation in place of quotation marks. The odd punctation causes text to be deleted.

I suggested that I do a simple find and replace; Jeff would rather wait for Kovid to fix the bug. So we wait.

I already read one of the short stories on the web site (the one by Valentin Ivanov) and it was very good. Awaiting the final ebook version to read the rest.
Some links in the afterwords were not working, I emailed the author with correct links.

Don't hesitate if you need further help. I would be happy to help, I can do the proofreading for example.

If only there were a pbook, eh? (This is a web-only production, funded by NSF for educational purposes.)

The cover image is the Pleiades. Quite beautiful.

Can you send me what you have so far? I'd like to look it over.

BTW, Mike has given his blessing to posting the ebooks in all the usual locations (here, feedbooks, manybooks, etc.) once the files are checked and finalized.
