Are you talking about SRL, in regard to the LITB? As opposed to the actual SRL, on the file itself, when delivered to a device? The SRL doesn't affect the LITB, NJ. There was some jabber, years ago, with people thinking that it affected the LITB, and maybe it did, for about five minutes, but it doesn't now. ??? Hitch |

I will say that I tend to skip all the praise at the front of ebooks. They might have been useful in my more naive and print-book reading days as a suggestion on how good the book is. But I've always viewed those pages as a selling point - something to tempt you to buy the book while you're in the store - rather than anything useful once I actually own the book. |

Yes indeed. Once they've bought it, let them read from the index backwards, if they like! |

Sorry, too busy to read forums for a few days! If it turns out I do attempt to publish my father's childhood books when the time comes they are public domain (I think the first is only a couple years away.), I LIKE the idea of putting something on the last page of the last chapter. That's a great idea since it should be readable before the 'before you go' screen, and given the author had a bit of a penchant for self-advertising in his books, could possibly be worded in a similar fashion to fit! THANK YOU! Good thinking! |

So usually what I see of a fiction book before buying, is a cover. |

With some 3500+ eBooks through our shop, we've had to get creative a number of times. Not necessarily "good thinking" inasmuch as simply experience at trying to please publishers in an environment in which they, like you, have additional content that they want seen. So, you get pretty good at "box? Think outside it." :-) I hope it helps you when the PD comes. Hitch |

Usually I'm not too bad at thinking outside the box, but the Amazon thing of skipping over chunks of book is rather new to me! I used to have a Kindle Keyboard to test epub conversions on, but I hated it so, I never actually read on it and finally gave it to a relative. So the first real reading I've done on Kindle is recently, on the refurb Voyage I picked up cheap to a) have a modern Kindle device to test on, and b) easily investigate/read the hundred or so Open Road Media books I picked up when they were free. One thing sure, this little book digitizing hobby keeps my poor 60 year old brain puzzling along. So many things to learn and figure out! Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk |
