No pdf format available?
Re: Marcan Rayger Frontier/Elite fan-fics revisited
No PDF at the moment - do people still read PDFs, though? The Kindle applet and other similar applications are available to pretty much every platform.
The problem with PDFs is that you would have to know the size of the reader's screen; whether to design the layout for a regular A4/Letter or something more fitting for a smaller 7" or 10" display...

The vast majority of my ebooks are PDFs. I read PDFs formatted all kinds of ways on my ebook reader (not a kindle, btw). I just resize according to need.. I'd assume most readers have the same ability.Wolfwood wrote:The problem with PDFs is that you would have to know the size of the reader's screen; whether to design the layout for a regular A4/Letter or something more fitting for a smaller 7" or 10" display...
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Most readers are not very good at PDF reflow. The notable exception according to some tests that I've read is the Pocketbook Touch Lux.Diziet Sma wrote:I'd assume most readers have the same ability.

Heck.. mine doesn't even try to reflow.. but rotate the display sideways, set zoom to 'fit width' and it's good to go. Takes about 3 'scroll down's per page, but at least it's easy to read.

Wolfwood, xzanfr - do you (or anybody else) have any of this fiction? The old website has been taken down and I can't find anything anywhere! Just dead links.xzanfr wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2013 5:28 pm
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, Castor in particular...
I also enjoy your description of the ship to ship combat as well as your writing style - fairly fast paced without dwelling on unnecessary plot details.
I highly recommend reading these - great work Wolfwood
