The next frontier for e-books is the E-COMIC...but with the Kindle's limited ability to render graphics, this has been a real challenge for comic creators--until now!!! Book 2 of 4 of the GRAPHICS ON THE KINDLE tackles the challenging task of FORMATTING COMICS FOR THE KINDLE!

In this e-book you'll learn how to format your artwork to fit perfectly on the Kindle's screen; what size to mark up your bristol boards so your scans will be in correct proportion to the Kindle's screen; how to simulate other shades of gray; how to create your HMTL file for upload to Amazon's Digital Text Platform (DTP) and much more! Lot's of extras are included, such as a secret web page with e-comic resources plus templates exclusively for buyers of this e-book.

There's also a bonus page detailing an innovative opportunity for you to distinguish your works from the paper comics! Best of all, THIS WHOLE PUBLICATION IS AN E-COMIC! We practice what we preach!

IMPORTANT: READ THE FIRST REVIEW BELOW. This is where we post new info on this e-book!!!

Can't read it on the Kindle
 
Review Date: January 7, 2010
Reviewer: Karen, Davis, CA
I purchased the book to read on my Kindle (the only format available), but the font is too small to comfortably read. The font size cannot be changed because the text is in a graphic. The information seems good if only it were legible!
rip off
 
Review Date: December 15, 2009
Reviewer: Michael Beloved, Brooklyn NY
This is a rip off in terms of the price. It should be sold for 50 cents.
For the information given, it is too expensive and the write up about the book is over-blown.
