Quibbler as ePub?

Postby Rhynn » May 22nd, 2012, 7:29 am

So, as you might know we're working hard on the Quibbler. As the publishing date draws near I have a small question to you all.

It will be published as pdf (the preferred method for reading it), images (screenshots of the Quibbler) and a text version as just a post here on the forum.

However, I can also make a text-only (with maybe the linked ads) version ePub, which can be read on most eReaders (except Kindle, as far as I know). In fact it will be quite easy for me to make that, thanks to the program I'm using to make the Quibbler. But if no one is interested in an e-reader version, I won't go through the trouble of making one.

So, my question: would you want an ePub version of the Quibbler?

I voted ~ Yes - but I wouldn't use it myself. The iPad does pdf just great and I am mostly on the laptop anyway. But I know that many many out there now use eReaders and I think it would be very welcome in that format.

I am really looking forward to the 'First Edition' :)

I voted the same as well. I don't have an eReader or kindle. I totally would do it though, if I did. Like MoonInPisces, I usually just use my laptop, and would read it from there instead.

But then again, if everybody voted yes, but won't use it themselves, perhaps simply leaving it as a pdf would do.

I voted "Yes", as it seems a good idea, if it is practicable to do. I wouldn't use it myself, though, simply because I don't have an eReader, or any current plans to acquire one.

So far all the votes are yes, but only one which will actually use it xD I'm going to leave this open until the publishing date, so keep the votes coming!

I have a tablet so I could use it.. but I don't think I would because it isn't really necessary for me. So I'm going to vote for no.

I voted yes, and I would use it. I use my iPod a lot, and it can be hard to see things in normal-sized writing on it. Ebooks are formatted to fit my screen and would be easier for me to see.

I voted other, because I think it is a cool idea. I have a Sony ereader, but I am wondering what the advantages are to having it in e-reader format over pdf. Image
