In twilight's hush, a secret bloomed, A gift unveiled by time's sweet pull. In past and future, bound together, The threads of fate weaved through the years. A whisper in ancient stone, A promise in a present smile. The echoes of tomorrow sang, As the heart of yesterday thrummed. A dance of destiny unfurled, Time's tapestry woven by dreams.

I was thinking back to the post I made about ebooks being so much more accessible for so many people compared to paperbacks/hardbacks and the other thing I wanted to add is the vast, vast majority of the time, the author gets so much more profit comparatively for an ebook than a paperback/hardback.

That's not a problem for huge huge huge authors either way, but for small-time authors, or authors with small publishing houses, the difference in profits can sometimes be $2.00 or $3.00 per ebook sold vs. $0.50c or $1.00 per paperback. Really. You pay more, but the author gets a lot less.

In the case of indie authors like myself, ebooks give the highest returns always.

This isn't necessarily something most readers think about, but I have had readers assume that because the book format cost them more, that automatically means more goes to the author. In fact it's often the opposite. There are very few exceptions (university texts come to mind). But in the case of your run-of-the-mill indie fiction, if you genuinely want the most profit to go to the author, get the ebook.

I keep thinking about Lewis' review of The Hobbit, because he claimed that the main thing contemporary reviewers compared it to was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Was fantasy in that poor of a state that Alice was the closest thing they could think of? Comparing that chaotic fever dream to Tolkien's intricately crafted world? Lewis does specify that the comparison is that both books are by an "Oxford professor at play", but they're otherwise so different that putting the two in the same category baffles me.

The Demon of the Lonely Isle by Edogawa Ranpo

Whatever challenge or hardship we face, it is never as dreadful as that which we are able to imagine.

- Edogawa Ranpo, The Demon of the Lonely Isle

Our youthful spirits were still capable of enjoying such adventures and thrilled at keeping secrets. Added to this, the type of relationship that existed between Michio and myself meant we were more than just 'friends'. Michio's affection for me was atypical - although I didn't really comprehend how he felt, I understood it on an intellectual level - and like any normal romantic sentiment it wasn't necessarily unwelcome, so when we were face to face, there was a kind of sweet sexual tension in the air. This tension perhaps made our 'game' all the more pleasurable.

- Edogawa Ranpo, The Demon of the Lonely Isle

Nobody can see the plight we're in, we can't see each other's faces. After we die, our bodies will lie here undiscovered for eternity. But just as this place has no light, it has no laws, no morality, no customs. It is another world, where humanity is extinguished. In the short time we have left, I want to disregard all such formalities. We need not feel embarrassment or jealousy, or hide behind good manners or put on a show anymore. We're like two newborn beings, the only living creatures in this primordial darkness. - Edogawa Ranpo, The Demon of the Lonely Isle

A little bit of darkness and people fall to pieces. Get a hold of yourself. Where there's life there's hope.

- Edogawa Ranpo, The Demon of the Lonely Isle

Fun Fact:

Ranpo's friend and fellow detective writer Yokomizo Seishi (1902-81) wrote, 'the love for the same sex, which had been a long-standing desire of the author [sakka no hisashiki ganbō de atta dōseiai], had finally been incorporated into this novel.' An insert to another multivolume collection of Ranpo's works published in 1938 and 1939 emphasizes in boldface type that Kotō no oni is 'a work in which the author dealt with the topic of same-sex love.'

Having finally published my book, I think everybody's wrong, the worst file format of all time has got to be .epub. Jesus Christ. Like what if PDFs fucking sucked, and didn't work, and didn't retain any of the formatting information you put into it? and what if what it looked like entirely depended on what app you use to read it?

Understanding E-Book Typing: The Art and Science of Digital Content Conversion

1. What is e-book typing?

 E-book typing is a specialized process that involves the meticulous conversion of written content into a digital format that aligns with the requirements of e-books. This intricate task encompasses transcribing text from a variety of sources, including manuscripts, articles, and printed books, into electronic documents that are both accurate and easily navigable. Beyond simple transcription, e-book typists are responsible for formatting the text according to established e-book standards, which includes adjusting font sizes, line spacing, and chapter headings to ensure optimal readability across a range of devices, from e-readers to tablets and smartphones. A keen attention to detail is paramount in this process, as typographical errors or formatting inconsistencies can detract from the reading experience. In addition to the technical skills required for accurate typing and formatting, e-book typists must also be well-versed in e-publishing guidelines and best practices. This knowledge enables them to incorporate interactive elements such as hyperlinks, images, and bookmarks, which not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the e-book but also improve user engagement and navigation. Furthermore, the role of e-book typists is increasingly significant in the digital age, as they contribute to the democratization of literature by making it more accessible to a broader audience. By transforming traditional print materials into dynamic digital formats, e-book typists play a vital role in facilitating the dissemination of knowledge and stories, ensuring that literature continues to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape.

2. How are eBooks used?

eBooks have become an integral part of modern reading practices, providing users with a flexible and accessible means of consuming literature and educational material. They are utilized across various platforms, including dedicated eReaders, tablets, and smartphones, allowing readers to carry an extensive library in a single device. eBooks offer features such as adjustable font sizes, built-in dictionaries, and bookmarking capabilities, enhancing the reading experience. Furthermore, they facilitate immediate access to publications, enabling users to download and read materials instantly. Educational institutions leverage eBooks for course materials, promoting a more sustainable approach to learning while catering to diverse learning styles.

3. Are eBooks easy to read?

The readability of eBooks is a multifaceted aspect that significantly varies based on individual preferences and the unique features offered by various e-reading platforms. Many readers express appreciation for the customizable elements that eBooks provide, such as adjustable font sizes and background colours. These features not only cater to the aesthetic preferences of users but also enhance accessibility for individuals with visual impairments. Furthermore, the ability to highlight text and make annotations allows for a more interactive reading experience, facilitating deeper engagement with the material. The inclusion of advanced search functionalities enables readers to quickly locate specific passages or topics, while instant access to dictionaries and other reference tools enhances comprehension and retention of information. Such conveniences contribute to the overall appeal of eBooks as a modern reading medium.

Conversely, it is important to acknowledge some of the drawbacks associated with eBook reading. For certain users, screen glare and the potential for digital eye strain can be significant deterrents, especially during prolonged reading sessions. The blue light emitted by screens may also disrupt sleep patterns, leading to concerns about the long-term effects of extended exposure to digital devices. These factors can diminish the enjoyment of reading for some individuals, prompting them to prefer traditional print books instead. Ultimately, the ease and pleasure of reading eBooks vary widely among users, influenced by personal habits, preferences for technology, and the specific configurations of the e-reading platforms they utilize. Understanding these varying experiences is essential for both publishers and developers seeking to enhance the digital reading landscape.

4. How popular are e-books?

E-books have experienced a remarkable surge in popularity over the past decade, a trend that can be attributed to several key factors, including advancements in technology and the evolving preferences of consumers. The proliferation of portable devices such as tablets, e-readers, and smartphones has transformed the reading experience, allowing users to carry an entire library in their pockets. This unprecedented convenience has made reading more accessible than ever, enabling individuals to enjoy their favourite titles anywhere and at any time. Industry reports indicate a consistent increase in e-book sales, highlighting a significant shift in reading habits, particularly among younger generations who are increasingly inclined toward digital formats. The interactivity and multimedia features offered by e-books, such as hyperlinks, embedded videos, and adjustable text sizes, further enhance their attractiveness, making them a preferred choice for tech-savvy readers. In addition to their appeal to individual consumers, e-books have garnered the support of libraries and educational institutions, which have increasingly integrated digital reading materials into their offerings. This inclusion not only broadens access to a diverse array of literature but also fosters an environment conducive to learning and research. The affordability of e-books compared to traditional print formats plays a crucial role in this shift, as it allows readers to acquire more titles without a significant financial burden. As digital literacy continues to expand across demographics, it is evident that e-books are set to maintain a pivotal role in the publishing industry. With ongoing technological innovations and a growing acceptance of digital formats, the future of e-books looks promising, positioning them as a dominant force in the literary landscape for years to come.

5. Can I share my eBooks?

The issue of sharing eBooks often revolves around the complexities of copyright laws and the specific licensing agreements that accompany digital publications. Unlike traditional printed books, which can be freely lent, gifted, or passed on to others without restrictions, eBooks are frequently encumbered by digital rights management (DRM) technologies. These DRM protections are put in place by publishers and distributors to safeguard their intellectual property, and they can impose significant limitations on the sharing of digital content. For instance, certain eBooks may only be shared with designated individuals, or in some cases, sharing may be entirely prohibited. This creates a distinct difference in the way users interact with digital literature compared to physical books, raising important questions about accessibility, ownership, and the evolving nature of reading in a digital age. To navigate these complexities, readers must diligently review the terms of service associated with their purchased eBooks. Many eBook platforms do offer limited sharing features, such as lending capabilities, which allow users to share their digital books with friends or family for a specified duration. However, these options vary significantly from one platform to another, and understanding the nuances of each agreement is crucial for compliance with copyright regulations. By familiarizing themselves with these policies, readers can make informed decisions about sharing their digital content while respecting the rights of authors and publishers.

As the landscape of digital publishing continues to evolve, it remains imperative for readers to stay informed about the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the sharing of eBooks.

For t/f: I assume you’re a huge advocate for physical books over ebooks??

False!

~

Ebooks are hugely accessible, and as someone with massive RSI issues in my wrists (partly from writing), holding heavy books and the repetition of turning pages can be literally agonising, and can even lead to me needing surgery one day for tendon release.

I do love physical books, and I have a large collection that I'm very proud of, and weed on a yearly basis. But I absolutely am not an advocate for them over ebooks, let alone a huge one. Ebooks have been such a game-changer for anyone with accessibility issues.

Readers no longer have to rely on publishers being grudgingly generous enough to offer books in large fonts if they have visual processing issues. They can change the font (most of the time) on an e-reader. Readers no longer have to lug around extremely heavy nonfiction books, and can save their backs and wrists. Readers who live in very small or cramped spaces because of poverty or other reasons no longer have to deal with 'where do I keep all these books' because some of them (or all of them) can be ebooks. Also, almost always - with mostly the exception of some university texts - they're cheaper. What a win!

On an accessibility level, ebooks win every time, especially now that we have so many lighting options so that people don't have to put up with backlight etc. anymore. They highlight just how previously ableist the publishing industry has been around visual accessibility and joint strain accessibility.

So I'm mostly a hardcore advocate of people reading how they want to read. A hybrid mix. Only audio. Only ebook. Only paperbacks. Only hardbacks. Some combination of the four.

I love the smell of books, but I don't love the dust. I love having them organised in my library, but I don't love the eternal problem of never really having enough room. I love my ebook collection, but I sometimes forget to check into it. I love that I can get very large nonfiction tomes in ebook form, but sometimes I find them harder to highlight etc. because there's something visceral to me about dragging a highlighter or pencil across a page. Everything has its pros and cons.

But ebooks beat out literally everything else except audio for accessibility (though I can't do audio ironically because of accessibility, lmao, my auditory processing for language isn't great).
