Interview with me on the BookGoodies website

An interview that I did with Deborah Carney of BookGoodies about things that publishers and self-publishing authors need to keep in mind when getting into eBooks, especially those for children's books and other graphic- and design-heavy applications, has been posted on their website. It's about a 45-minute interview, and there's lots of useful information. You'll also find a permanent link to the interview in the left-hand column of this blog.

Amazon updates Kindle readers

TechCrunch reports that Amazon has updated its HTML5 Kindle Cloud Reader, iOS and Android Kindle apps with a number of new features:

• Graphic novels, comic books and children's picture books are now supported in all three eReaders. There are more than 1,000 comic and children's books available. 
• Kindle Text Pop Up enlarges text in selected children's books. 
• Kindle Panel View makes comic books and graphic novels look more like their printed equivalents.
• Android and Cloud Reader eReaders now support two-page view mode. 
• iOS users can now search their library of eBooks by title, and the margins on the iPad have been made smaller for more display space.
