On this week’s show, we had J. Thorn, author of the Portal Arcane series and — most appropriately for this discussion, the guide Formatting for Kindle — on the show to talk about making Kindles do what you want.
We were unable to find out how to make Kindles bring us coffee or give us massages, unfortunately, but as far as getting correct fonts, placements images, etc.? We nailed that shit.
Perhaps the most interesting discussion here, in my mind, was how to make children’s books work on the Kindle. This is something a lot of you have asked about but that so far, we’ve shrugged in response to and said, “Dunno. Google for it.”
I could go on and on, but luckily, this week J. has done all of my work for me by posting everything you’ll need to know — including a bunch of awesome free resources — on his website. To get them, visit JThorn.net and click on the tab along the top that says “SP Podcast #049.” How organized is this guy?
