![]() I read Elaine Barbieri "Hawk" as my January prime loan and it too had horrible formatting. The story was good, but some of the words ran together and such things. I can't believe they doing a sale with so many of those books being almost unreadable. At least for me. Disappointing. |

I shouldn't have to worry about not being able to read a book. I just want to enjoy them. The sample of the Bobbi Smith one I had my eye on looks atrocious. Looks worst than some of my paperbooks that are 40 years old. I hope people buy them, see how horrible they are and return them or tell amazon and then maybe they'll fix that mess. |

The Wanton Splendor is very readable on my Kindle Fire as is However Forbidden Fires font is not as readable too much like paperback font and on a ereader it just looks ugly! Last edited by Blossom; 01-22-2014 at 02:56 PM. |

The biggest thing with Topaz conversion for me is I feel compelled to go through and proof against the images putting in italics and em dashes & stuff where they belong. Takes too long.
I have 3 or 4 I really do want to get converted at some point, but just don't have the extra time (I'd rather read). I'll have some extra time for a while I guess, since I found out I'm layed off as of Monday (after almost 20 years), so maybe I'll finally get some stuff like these conversions done between looking for work/figuring out what to do. |

![]() If you convert the topaz to SVGs using non calibre way you can then use a free program called Prince that will convert the SVG images to PDFs then just merge it to one big PDF and OCR the PDF and the copy usually comes out pretty clean and has italics. |

Blossom, sorry about your friend, congrats about your great-nephew (does this word exist) and a little sorry by the problem with his arm (I know the feeling, my older nephew was born deaf, an he had surgery and he hears now, and my younger nephew had kidney surgery with a couple of months).

Might try the Sony version. It seems to be a little bit better (but I only gave them a quick look). |
