Another reason I Ruby on Rail(s) against the #ebooks file formats:
You can't have a table of contents/navigation like this!
Cuz #books are such an anathema, I am presenting & distributing our story, CONVERGENCE online from our site. ONLY
I'm not interested in selling books, I want to tell our story.
#ebooks are bollocks because you can't put in a zillion pics. Coffee table books are equally so, in that you have to have a coffee table and a lot of money for the dang book.
Best distro for this work, Ta-DA! online
I'm formatting pics and getting em online to beat the band!

#books suck! ๐

#kindle sucks!๐ฑ
#smashwords sucks! ๐พ
Telling someone you have written a book๐คฎ is like telling em you sell Avon, ๐ ๐คฌ๐ฉ or showing up at the front door to talk about god.๐๐๐
Best way to get uninvited from all the coolest parties!๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐
Just don't do it. โโข๏ธ๐ซโฃ๏ธ
CONVERGENCE readers!
I am NOT providing ebook files. ONLY html (online, in your browser like a webpage). You can ONLY read Convergence online. You do NOT have to pay to read it. The PAY FOR CONVERGENCE button does NOT provide a copy of the book, it simply allows you to make a voluntary payment (honor system) should you want to.
If you have paid in error, (expecting a file download) please email, so we can refund your money.
Apologies & Thanks,
Meg Stone
Why you won't find CONVERGENCE on any online ebook bookstore.
And why we're going back to grassroots Internet and data ownership.
Way more info in this blog post: https://elenameg.com/blog/posts/no-kindle.html
Has anyone actually sold any of their #writing using #ebook #publishing platforms like #smashwords or #kindle ?
If one has their own domain, server, etc. is there any point to the aforementioned distributors?
CONVERGENCE is out there!
The whole dang shebang, AND it's NOT behind a paywall. Download the epub, then, if you haven't already done so, pay for it.
Point I'm making here, folks, is that it is free to download. Don't need to pay, if don't want to, or can't, or have already done so.
CONVERGENCE
Our legal counsel informed us that, except for what is already online, I can only distribute this work through a publisher. It should be available within the next couple of weeks.
If you bought a membership, donated money, or love our story so much that you can't live without it -- and can't afford, or don't want to, pay for it -- I am happy to provide a free copy upon request, after publication.
