Re: Split difference --

Look closely at the maps -- remember that Fires of Nuala did not have maps, when it was printed. I did a new map of the lands to the east, and modified the map from Fire Sanctuary for the western side of the continent. (Hand-drawn -- now you know what I worked from! And with my eyes in flux, it's a funny story how I re-drew that eastern map. Wish I had a picture of the set-up.) Are they really identical? Because that's a big mistake!

My Calibre format-er is trying to get the ToC hassle fixed, and also fixing errors that were missed in the translating from many formats into the new one. If the maps did not go through correctly, she'll have to look at that. If there are four maps, that's wrong, too! (In Hidden Fires there will be an elevation map of the mine, too.)

Here's the FAQ from Book View Cafe -- http://www.bookviewcafe.com/index.php/FAQs. When you buy a subscription, you can have it in all formats, if you want, and you may also print for your own use. The BVC versions are not DRM. No one has asked about the Espresso machines specifically, but I would say that you can make a copy for yourself to read. But you can't sell it, or print multiple copies of it. Does that make sense?

Thank you for telling me about the Kindle burps! I will upload a new Kindle version as soon as we can get the problems hammered out. I still haven't found out how to download a copy to review -- they give you a glance at it, real useful -- so I need to ask a friend if he's found that feature yet.
