So fix it and mail the files to the author instead of just complaining? The guy released three book for free and you are breaking his balls over a very minor issue.

If I came across as "breaking his balls" I surely misspoke. It's not a huge issue, it's just an annoying thing that didn't need to be the way it is. As for fixing it and mailing him the files, that might happen if the necessary time becomes available.

Looking at the HTML I got from the PRC, I'd guess that Word was involved at some point. I've tried to extract & clean up the HTML & create a ePub, which I've done & emailed off to the author, but it was mostly trying to remove what looked to be automated, per-tag style settings...

Gwyn's been a big help getting all three books converted to the EPUB format. I'll have those posted in the next few days.

If you have downloaded the Mobi versions recently, I was alerted that they had a few minor typos, and those versions have now been corrected. So if you'd like a clean Mobi version, those are now updated on my site.

Thanks,
Boyd

Huzzah! Thanks, Boyd for your novels. They're on my 'to read as soon as possible list'.

Thanks, Gwyn!

Glad to help! I have to say it became a lot easier when I took a second look at your site and realised that your online versions were nice, clean HTML that were easy to pull down and only needed minor tweaks to consolidate the chapters before running the result through Calibre.

If I could get one or all in epub or lrf for the prs505, I would be all over these. Sound interesting. And I agree, the tip jar is a great idea. If I could get them I would throw something in there.

I am adept at the whole converting thing, and don't want to be, but if someone else could do that, I'm in. Irregardless, we appreciate it Boyd!

They are now available as epubs on Boyd's site.

And thank you both Boyd & Gwyn!

I'm well into The Ark now and really enjoying it. I find it as well written as any book I've paid for.
I'd be willing to put into a tip jar for sure. Living in Australia I can't buy via Amazon.
People who like Clive Cussler or Matthew Reilly would enjoy this book I think.

I finished The Palmyra Impact last night - once I started it, I just couldn't stop! Very enjoyable read, thank you.

BookLoverToo · 04-15-2009, 01:38 PM

I just finished The Ark. What a fun book to read! Less formulaic than Cussler, less contrived than Dan Brown, but with all the non-stop action. The science was feasible and the engineering detail added a nice angle. I will certainly be reading the other two books, and I can't wait for a pbook edition to give my non ebook-enlightened friends!

Thanks for a great read!

Boydm · 04-15-2009, 08:39 PM

Thanks to everyone for reading my books! It's great to hear your feedback.

Cheers,
Boyd

I have just finished The Ark. What a riveting story and so well written. I could easily imagine this being turned into a major blockbuster film. You really should consider a Tips Jar as I would gladly pay something.

With the amount of praise your books are getting both here and elsewhere, I can't imagine why no major publisher was willing to buy them.
