    Uh... Why do you need a publisher if you're going to release your book online for free?
  • katie · 1 year ago
    the online viewer for the book is annoying. not very user friendly and not easily navigable.

    Having second thoughts? (I'm not able to view the book at all.)

    Ok, I'm back because I hate the way the zmags is set up. It's impossible to read. You can't see the text at normal size, but when you zoom you can only see a few words at a time. You can't print it or view as pdf (which I understand the reasoning) but I'm not going to read this in this stupid format.

    Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong. I would like to read this.

    Ditto- you can't save or print the file and I'm not going to read 300+ pages on the screen even in a good viewer.

    If you really believe this is the way to go, publish it yourself so you can really distribute it for free without the publisher's handcuffs on method of distribution.

    PS- Mark, you look bored. This one was probably better left to audio only ;)

    You obviously don't read your comments - or at least don't think they are worth your time to respond.
    BUT:
    I can't read the book online either.

    And, I agree with OP: you. looked. bored. You may not be Mr. Excitement IRL, but you gotta put some effort into it.
