Hey, that’s my DeviantArt site, you posted! Thanks for mentioning it. You must keep an eye on Reddit, as that’s practically the only place I’ve mentioned it. I posted about 80 more screens yesterday. Hope you enjoy!

Comment on How to format a screenplay or drama for the Kindle by Lee

Drat, my HTML was stripped out.

Did it look similar to (I’ve replaced the “” with “(” and “)”:
(p class=”character”)JOHN DOE(/p)
(p class=”dialogue”)Hey.(/p)
…

Thanks.

For Canadians who can’t take a look at the Nurse Jackie script, how does the raw unconverted html file look? I’m guessing it looks similar to:

JOHN DOE
Hey.

Thanks!

Comment on Erotica publisher Ellora’s Cave plans to launch its own ereader device by Anonymous

This COULD have been a good idea, if Ellora’s Cave had created their own bookstore to download straight to the device. Instead, you will have to continue sideloading, AND you will have to talk to a *publisher’s* customer service department for problems with an electronic device that they did not design or manufacture.

Why would you pick the eCave reader, with no history of reliability, over the Kindle or Nook, both of which offer instant downloading directly on the device wherever you have wifi and/or 3G service, AND which both offer a special customer service department for the devices?

The synching is a pain. Their website isn’t optimized for iPhones. You have no way of knowing if you’ve bought a book or not & you can’t send books to your devices. All these points have been addressed really well by Amazon right from the get go. Kobo, as Shortcovers were great. Ever since the change they “suck”. Simple as that. Give me Kindle any day.

I agreed with all your issues and am happy about this update, but my biggest problem remains that syncing between devices just doesn’t work very. I’ve emailed complaints for Kobo about this for over a year, and they always say it’s an issue with “certain books.” Unfortunately, it seems to be all the books I’m reading. I’ve switched to using the Kindle apps on my iPhone and iPad (which sync flawlessly) and I only grab my actual Kobo reader when I’m travelling.

Unfortunately, no info on when the update is coming, or whether it will be pushed out to Android at the same time as iOS. You're using Android, right? I don't have a device to troubleshoot, but did you already try changing the app's permissions in your system settings?
