You get Kindle right&#8212;and Nook refuses to display correctly. You get Nook&#8212;you guessed it. She&#8217;s done nothing from 7 AM to 11 PM and beyond, sometimes to 2 AM&#8230;and the beast is full of dodges, hidden code, and dastardly schemes to prevent files from working &#8212; just WORKING sanely. The covers on which she has labored long and hard&#8212;want to stretch. Or shrink. The software folk are paying no attention to the long-held book industry standard for cover size. Oh, no. Amazon wants one size. Nook wants another. Calibre, the conversion software, produces yet another, sideways-stretched. Mobipocket creator, deliberately bought and orphaned by Amazon, is still reasonably good. Sigil is hiding code somewhere. I&#8217;ll tell you, it is NOT just push-a-button and convert. These companies are fighting each other&#8230;I strongly suspect&#8230;doh!&#8230;and the idea of giving the creator control with easy, visible toggles is not on the horizon. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>So when you do see the new things, note very long hours by Jane and by Lynn working on these conversions. Think of them, please. I wish I could do something to help&#8212;but at this level of computer chicanery, all I can do is play librarian, searching the internet for answers to very specifically posed questions.\u00a0 9 times out of 10, they&#8217;re ahead of them. Just rarely I can find something useful. But alas&#8230;not often enough.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>..changes in the software, a computer crash, a new computer, and more changes in the software&#8230;and issues right now plaguing everybody who works with e-books, have kept Jane busy through tonight just trying to format Chernevog so that it looks right in ALL displays.
