First, proofing edits complete on Demon’s in the Details, which means a spiff new 6.625 x 10.25 (comic size) pdf for anyone who likes reading hardcopy, as well as Kindle and Mobi versions for the growing numbers that want to read on the go. All of that is standard for each completed Cat-Tale. What’s new for Demon is an ePub format. This is the only file currently available in this format, so we can work out the kinks before rolling it out for all 60+ tales and compilations. Anyone using Stanza and/or Safari on their iPhone or iPod should try it out here. Users of the Droid Kindle app and other mobile readers should also give it a try and let me know what methods work best for you.
Speaking of proofing, we’re coming up on the end of Book 5, so that means a new compilation and a logical time to make the jump to providing the complete books available for Kindle. Now, remember the scene in Empire Strikes Back where Yoda maintains that size shouldn’t make any difference? If you can Force-float a pebble you can levitate the X-wing? Well, it’s a theory, but it sure is intimidating. Luke-like, I am going to try, but Kindle folks, please be kind on the off chance that I can’t get work out a proper table of contents/bookmark menu.
And finally—you didn’t think we were done yet, did you?—Finally, the social networking world has changed since I installed the “Add this” buttons, and it’s definitely time for some new options there so the tales can be easily shared on Facebook, tweeted, and otherwise passed around. Expect these upgrades to roll out slowly and quietly in the next few weeks.
As for what else I’ve done with my summer vacation, this season’s recipient of the DC Comics Shoe Fund is Kenneth Cole.
