The Kindle

     I am happy to report that The Pictorial Adventure is now on the Amazon Kindle.  Yea!  That is very exciting!  I have had so many people asking me when they would be able to find it there.  Thanks to my wonderful husband it is finally there.  Thank you so much for being patient while we figured it all out.  I hope you can find it now.

What comes next? Striving to be on the Kindle!

     Since this is my first book, formatting has been a big process and a major struggle for me and my husband.  Fortunately for me my husband has taken over most of that responsibility, because to me it is equal to learning a foreign language.  For those of you not familiar with formatting it is the process of converting the book to the acceptable format for its publication.  My e-publisher, Smashwords, requires a certain format in order for it to be accepted.  Once accepted Smashword reformatted it into other formats and send it to other ebook sites.  Along the process we learned by trial and error.  In my early attempts I failed to properly save some of my corrections which resulted in some typos in my book.  But, I am slowly learning how to do things on a computer properly.  Unfortunately Smashwords is not able to send it to the Kindle.  So, now we are in the process of reformatting to meet the Kindle specifications.  If all goes well it will be on the Kindle soon.  I will keep you posted.
