Day 457: Monday Again?

Didn’t we just do this? I walked a lot but talked little this morning. Mostly mumbling.

And Cidney Swanson’s book Saving Mars is available today. I put a link in the sidebar.

    When I did copy edit, I brought the doc into libreoffice and saved as odt and then brought it into calibre and converted to epub. The convert to epub was flawless. In fact, that is how I saw the extra markup in the doc which created blank entries in the TOC of the epub. They were invisible in the doc.

    I have my nook rooted; so I actually used Cool Reader to read and that has a fantastic highlighter which allows comments on what is highlighted. I could then export that bookmark file with all those highlights and had the typos practically ready to send to you.

      And your comments were excellent, Anita.

      Thanks.

      I’ll definitely be using this to help with the conversions. LyX is the software I use for print formating and that should go pretty smoothly now that I have the template.

    Thanks, I just got Saving Mars. I’m only a few chapters in, but it looks great.

      She’s done a major revision on the ending since I saw it last month. I haven’t seen that one yet, but I really liked the way the story unfolded.

    If the only reason you are using doc format is to please Ridan then that would only apply to the share books. I for one only use libreoffice and odt format. I have never liked the DOC format (very unstable IMHO) even before there was a odt option. Shows my age. I learned on CP/M using WordStar, Lotus 123, and Dbase. WordStar nondocument mode was great to write dbase programs in, my job for several years. I still to this day pine for WordStar and CP/M. I wonder how many people even remember what pip even means today LOL.
