What a demeaning offer! You make it sound like you’re lifting the lid on a virtual septic tank for a quick look before stepping back into the rosebed again.
I publish online and always will – and not just for one day.

I think this is a really cool idea. I’m excited to see who’s novels are on this list.

it’s not meant as an insult to writers. i was originally just going to make my own unpublished novel available for a day on my bday. then folks like steve himmer, shya scanlon, toby carroll and paula bomer said they were up for joining in. my immediate reaction was, “hey, i’d love to download books from these people.” i figured that others in the indie lit world would have the same reaction and if we opened it up widely we’d get a nice selection for readers to download.
i know i’ll be filling up my nook with goodies. happy birthday to me!

When you put PDFs on your Nook, do they format wonky?

they’ve played nice for me so far. i think if you’re going from a file from a book interior w/headers & footers & images it can get wonky. but a pdf created from a word doc or other processor has been fine for me.

Huh. Mine always maintains the line length from the pdf, meaning that it wraps them like poetry, since the Nook screen is smaller than a doc. Maybe I need to increase the margin size.

Interesting. How is it demeaning? What part? I don’t get it — there’s nothing contemptuous about online publishing here. Jackie publishes an online magazine.
