If anybody out there has a Kindle, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you tell me how well the book survived being run through the digital grinder and sent to your Kindle screen? Does it look okay?Here's a link to the Kindle edition: Clear Heart.
.I don't have a Kindle, and I don't know anybody who has a Kindle. So I have no idea what's being sold to the world in my name. And it's my name, my reputation that will suffer if they did a bad job.
I already know it's a little different from the printed book, because I had to make some changes to the manuscript before they would accept it. Kindle won’t accept Unicode, if you know what that is (I didn’t). My manuscript contains a couple of Greek characters set in unicode (the symbol theta used in sine and cosine equations), so I had to rewrite a couple of sentences leaving out the equations, which is a shame. I wonder how many other books had their content rewritten to be published on Kindle?
Can't answer your question, but I do have a nice, new paperback of Clear Heart just waiting to be read. :o)
ReplyDeleteI notice they didn't post the reviews you received for the print edition. What's with that?
ReplyDeleteI've seen Amazon cross-link reviews for books and movies across editions or formats. Do they not do that for Kindle? Or will they do it soon / in the future?
Not that I have a Kindle. But it seems like the Kindlers should be able to see at a glance how wonderful your readers think "Clear Heart" is.
Can't answer your questions, Susan. I'm just an itty bitty writer caught in the huge Amazon machinery.
