Writer's Blog: I Was Wrong



A while back, when talking about the Kindle, I mention not being able to click to a specific park of a book. Well it turns out I was wrong about that.

I've looked again at 'Writer Good or Die' and it does let you jump to specific sections. So, what can I say, my bad.

I've just looked at another of the titles I've got and this one doesn't allow for that ease of navigation.

It seems that the kindle is quite an interesting thing. How things are formatted seems to vary dramatically. I downloaded a sample of Star Trek Titan: Orion's Hounds. These books, at the beginning of chapters, have a bold capital letter. Unfortunately it doesn't format properly so we get...

W
e...

Instead of We... As with any news technology there is a ways to go before it is perfect. Given the price difference I'll probably still be buying this books in paper form.

Addendum


I'm still reading Abhorsen and I hope to be able to post a short review soon. However it might have to wait until after I get back from holiday.
