Changes

Yes, it’s been quiet on this blog lately, but there has been a lot happening behind the scenes, First, the upgrade program is proceeding — I’m about half-way through updating the 1700+ books in the collection.

Second — a big change — is that all the books can now be downloaded as epub format files, suitable for many e-readers, including (with conversion) the Kindle. The download files now all have the .epub extension, rather than .zip. They are still, in fact, zip archive files, and can still be opened by software such as WinZip. But the file name extension change means that they can now be properly recognised as ebooks by browsers and ereader software.

Third: some of you may have heard of Facebook, and about their recent changes. So we now provide a “Like” button on every Author page in our site:

This is either a big deal, or a trivial waste of space, depending on how you feel about Facebook. But it seems at least a harmless addition, and may prove to be a good means of promoting our site and ebooks generally. Please be assured that no data passes between this site and Facebook.
