IDIOT’S GUIDE FOR THE KINDLE

by Hazed

The other job I worked on was to reformat The Idiot’s Guide to Federation 2 for the Kindle. I did this because in my real life job I needed a test project to experiment with certain techniques in Kindle ebooks, and it’s always easier to use something “real” instead of some dummy text.

The result works well, and you can download it here: http://www.ibgames.net/fed2/guide/kindle.html.

You don’t have to have a Kindle to look at this version of the Idiot’s Guide. You can read it on a PC or a Mac using Amazon’s software, or you can install an app on your iPhone or iPad to read Kindle books. I’ve included instructions on how to read the Kindle Idiot’s Guide in all these different ways on the download page.

Speaking of converting ebook formats, here’s a hilarious story showing how NOT to do it: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-blog/nook-version-war-peace-
