'Not that hard...

I find it interesting the number of established epublishers that had been around for over 10 years who cannot manage to format books into an epub version. It's not hard to do. Even the technically inept like me can use Calibre to do it. It takes seconds to format. And if readers want epub and they can't get it? They'll go elsewhere. It's a no-brainer. Being competitive is about supply and demand. We all know that. No wonder so many writers are going Indie.

Supply what people demand. Business 101.

So, I’ve been driving myself…

…absolutely mad which, of course, is a short journey, over formatting some Ellora’s Cave books which I have taken back from EC for various reasons to do with EC suckability and my discontent with their suckability. Anyhow, I have been changing the books – due to EC’s rigid ideas on sex, babies and terminology – and putting them back into Amarinda speech. That’s easy. The hard bit is formatting them into pubs and fubs and lits and rb and LMNOP’s…okay, I made the last one up. Yesterday, I finally worked it all out. The penny or should I say a purse full of coins crashed onto my head and I had an epiphany and a headache. So, hard work, swearing and pulling hair our does work.
