notes on e books and formatting for electronic text

Since this is the blog my Amazon readers might see, I thought I'd repeat some notes I made on my JY Media blog. Mainly, I discovered a problem with the formatting of two of my older books, especially regarding how the text was rendered on a Kindle Fire. I'm still not exactly sure why the Fire deals with the same input as the Kindle or Paper White in a different way, but it does. On the Nook side, the problem was not very noticeable either. Only the Kindle Fire stood out, and I apologize if anybody with a Fire bought either of those two books, and had to struggle to get it to present the text in a readable fashion.

Somehow, I was able to fix the problem. I think I know how, actually, but it would be too complicated to explain in this blog post, so I'll leave it at the problem seems to be fixed, and the text, as far as I can now tell, looks great - even in the Kindle Fire. Thank You.

This is a compilation of some of my older stuff I called, Cold Coffee.

All of my Superheroes are Women

Well, as I updated in my previous post, it doesn't seem to matter how many spaces online I have. It all works out the same So, here is another digital painting attempt. I call it, "All of my Superheroes are women."

a final post, for now, not really

I've decided that I've yet again attempted to have too much online stuff. There are those I come across now and then that seem to be part of a "simplify" movement of sorts. These people will often claim things like they shut down all of their accounts except for the one you happen to be looking at. Probably, they are telling the truth. Oddly, I always come across that one blog that the person kept.

I will not remove anything, but instead, leave one last post, like a signpost leading to the one of several places it makes sense to any real people who come across my abandoned blogs.  I've decided it all works out the same somehow. So, I will continue with this space as well.

very soon now

Very soon, there will be the full novella coming out for Nook and Kindle. This means it is very probable that the serialized version on this blog will end at part 9, unless I change my mind. I am referring to, A Child's View of Inter-Stellar War, of course.

Strange Princess of the Mist

Well, I've decided this blog doesn't get enough use, and with all the concern about "net neutrality"  and the future of the Internet in general, we might as well use the spaces they give us as we like, within the framework of the conventions and rules set of course. So, this painting I call, "Strange Princess of the Mist" Also, subtitled, "Tablet Blah."
