| The Kindle cover |
I had, of course, looked at the e-book version in a number of formats before uploading it: I looked at it in the 'Kindle Previewer' and in 'Kindle for PC' and in 'Mobireader'-- all part of the fascinating, detailed and rather fiddly process of taking the novel I wrote through the required technological hoops. For instance, I edited the final version in Microsoft Word 2010, then had to save it as a document compatible with Word 2003 before saving it as a PDF and finally as a version suitable for more editing in Mobicreator.
I have rather enjoyed the e-journey, though. I have comforted myself through the inevitable frustrations (and there have been a few) by reminding myself that writing Transgressions was the really hard work and that the whole process will be easier next time....
But the fact is that I haven't yet written another novel and, by the time I have done, the technology will certainly have changed and I will likely have forgotten my solutions to all the little hiccoughs along the way!
I hope readers will look at the e-book version if only to peep inside and see what the novel feels like. It's available now at:
http://www.amazon.com/Transgressions-ebook/dp/B005XA5GF6/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319101078&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transgressions-ebook/dp/B005XA5GF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319112684&sr=8-1
A print-on-demand paperback will be available for purchase through all amazon sites in a matter of weeks-- editing that version is taking just a bit more time.
