All the chatter I see on the KDP forums is about Jutoh and Scrivener, never Atlantis Word Processor. |

This is because AWP does some very nice things that other processes don't do. You can put your Word file into AWP, with almost no tweakage, and make a mobi. You check it; you don't like it; you go back to AWP, modify the source file (the Word file, effectively, yes?) and voila, you make a new one. It's as near to an ideal process, for a "noHTML" environment as can be. God knows, it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier to use than bloody Jutoh, with all the monkeying around with the Styles. (To this day, I've NEVER understood what Julian was thinking? WHY???). It's almost what people have been whingeing about and wanting, for forever; some world in which they work in Word, push a button, and kablammo! Out comes an ebook. So, you have to pay a few shekels to buy AWP. Big deal! People seem to CHEERFULLY pay a lot more for Scrivener, etc. (Or maybe not Scrivener..I can't remember who charges what. I have all the bloody things, b/c we get everything here. Files in .scriv; files in Word, files in OO and LO and even, god help me, files in Powerpoint.) Scrivener makes mobis, yes, but it's NOT a good environment for mobi tweaking, and it's hopeless for complex books, for formatting, I mean, IME. {shrug} But, of course, like everything I say, it will be utterly ignored. People will go on using other products, or using Kindle Create, Christ help us, and worse, the Textbook and all those "creators" from Amazon that make FXL. Hitch |

Well, I listen to you, Hitch!

That clip almost gets funny in the last minute. Maybe it's a cultural thing.
The British audience lapped these two up for many years. I could never see it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etxoCcKmV3ohttp:// |

There's one...I can't remember which one is it--involving a camping trailer, that was my "rave fave" when I was a kid. I also watched pretty much everything else, too, from Casablanca to whatever, as part of the Saturday Night Cinema. ;-) Hitch |

All of these embedded videos will eventually slow this thread down if they keep getting added (each one reaches out to try and touch youtube whenever the page loads). If we're done with the topic, then let's be done. Plenty of places to share favorite video clips already.
Hiding the embedded video behind spoiler tags will stop the pre-load until after the spoiler button is clicked (for those that are interested). Last edited by DiapDealer; 06-26-2018 at 04:00 PM. |
