[Hayder] has in no way lost her ability to shock, thrill, entertain and occasionally torture us with her use of words.... A chiller to the very end. Hayder deals with Britain at its grittiest.' HANGING HILL by Mo Hayder is one of those books that you don’t get over after having read it. From its somber first sentences to its final paragraph, this is an. —Peter Millar, The Times (London)Mo Hayder is a world-class author of gritty, gripping page-turners, winner of the Dagger in the Library from the Crime Writers' Association for outstanding body of work. With her latest novel, she ratchets up the terror to fever pitch. Fast-paced and addictive, Hanging Hill centers around a pair of estranged sisters—one a cop, one a coddled wife fallen on hard times—and the gruesome homicide of a teenage beauty, which exposes the nightmares that lurk at the edges of our safe domestic lives.One morning in picture-perfect Bath, England, a teenage girl's body is found on the towpath of a canal. Lorne Wood—beautiful, popular, and apparently the victim of a disturbingly brutal murder. Why was she on the towpath alone late at night? Zoe Benedict—Harley-riding police detective, independent to a fault—is convinced the department head needs to look beyond the usual domestic motives to solve the case, but no one wants to hear it, especially from the department's black sheep. Meanwhile, Zoe's sister, Sally—recently divorced and in dire financial straits, supporting a daughter who was friends with the dead girl—has begun working as a housekeeper for a rich entrepreneur who seems less eccentric and more repugnant, and possibly dangerous. And why are his sinister associates showing up at her daughter's school? When Zoe's investigation turns up evidence that Lorne's attempts to break into modeling had delivered her into the world of webcam girls and amateur porn, a crippling secret from Zoe's past seems determined to emerge.All roads seem to be leading to one conclusion: there's something very wrong at the house on Hanging Hill. But will Zoe and Sally put their differences aside and fit all the pieces together before it's too late? Hanging Hill is a masterful, terrifying book that will have readers sleeping with the lights on. Amazon updated their recommendation (4/2012) for a book’s cover file to be 1500 to 2400 pixels with a 1.6 ratio to the short side. At 2400 for the long side, this calculates to 5 inches by 8 inches at 300 dpi. I prefer to retain the 6 x 9 inch (typical book) ratio. The page size ratio for the * Kindle offers is more like 1.2 to 1.3: Childrens Book: 452 px by 600 px, ratio is 1.327 KF8 Sample: 600 px by 800 px, ratio is 1.333** Comics Sample: 900 px by 1100 px, ratio is 1.2 *Samples located in right navigation of page **Though Amazon recommends 600 x 800 for the book cover (which is more squarish), I prefer to use the 600 x 900, or 6×9, as in a traditional book. Creating a Book Cover You have prepared your manuscript and are ready to e-publish. What is the File Size of Kindle Books? What is the File Size of Kindle Books. To give you a more accurate estimation of the file size of a typical Kindle eBook. Now you need to know how to prepare your book images and upload your Kindle book cover to the Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing system. There are two covers you will need: the Product Cover and the Internal eBook Cover. The best file format is JPG, which is acceptable for publishing both the product and internal cover image. Materials, etc. ONLINE Book Cover Creator: I have not personally tried this site by it may be of interest to some of you: NOTE: I will be talking about the Product display and internal cover only. (not book covers for print) Formatting Images Inside Your Kindle Book Kindle Direct Publishing will convert your images and text for upload to the Amazon Kindle Store as well as display on Kindles and other supported devices. Kindle Direct Publishing can process your book covers in the following formats: • GIF (or.gif) • PNG (or.png) • BMP (or.bmp) • JPEG (or.jpeg) NOTE: Images will appear in color ONLY on the Kindle Fire device. All other Kindle devices will display black and white. Internal Book Cover The best formats to use for the internal Kindle e-book cover is a JPG or GIF image, 127 KB* size at 300 dpi. This will provide enough clarity for images, particularly for large images, or content with gradient patterns. But you also don’t want the e-book file size to become too large. *Amazon recommends a 127K size for book covers. “The largest element of almost any Kindle book will be the image content. Inside your book file, the Kindle book format supports JPEG and GIF images up to 127KB in size. Images that are in other formats supported for upload to KDP (such as BMP or PNG), or that exceed this file size requirement, will be automatically recompressed as JPEG files during the conversion process. Optimizing your images to fit these requirements before uploading to KDP will help decrease the size of your uploaded file. It will also reduce the chance of encountering difficulties in conversion due to large file size.” HOWEVER once the reader has purchased your e-book, the Internal ebook cover is a moot point — they may go and look at your e-book cover, but most do not. Image Processing If you choose to upload your Word (.doc) file, and you have embedded images in your content, Kindle Direct Publishing automatically extracts images from the content and replaces them with an HTML tag. This process converts each image to a separate image file, which becomes a part of your content’s publication package (MOBI). Note: Images do not display accurately when you preview an uploaded file. For instance, larger images may resize or rotate when previewed. If your book has a lot of images, it can be viewed in color by the Kindle Fire or by readers using our free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, and Windows 7 devices. Otherwise, remember that images on Kindle (with the exception of the Fire) are displayed in 16 shades of gray for great contrast and clarity. The Product Display Book Cover The product display cover is the image that resides on the virtual bookshelf in the Amazon Kindle Store. It must be 72 dpi and I recommend a JPG file. I commonly create the product cover from the internal cover I designed at 600 x 800 600 x 900 or 6 x 9-inches. The product image needs to be crisp, sharp, and does not need to be any larger the 127K, however, Kindle Direct Publishing accepts two types of files for product display cover images: • JPEG, or.jpeg • TIFF, or.tif(f) KDP applies additional compression to images when displaying them on its website. For best results, images should be uploaded with minimal compression. Dimensions Kindle recommends the size to create your cover is 600 x 800 pixels to create a flush image on the older (b&w) Kindles. This is slightly more square than an 6 x 9 inch book cover. I prefer the 6 x 9 (or 600 x 900) ratio as it appears more like a traditional book. In addition, the product cover is displayed on the Web, so the resolution only needs to be 72 dpi for optimal viewing. Requirements for the size of your cover art: • Image dimensions of at least 500 by 800 pixels 500 to 2400 pixels with a 1.6 ratio to the short side– 600 x 800 pixels produces a full screen cover image on older Kindles. I prefer 600 x 900 pixels • Do not make your image any larger than 2000 pixels on the longest side. • Save at 72 dots per inch (dpi) for optimal viewing on the web. Sample of a Full Color E-book Cover Design Use Color Color attracts attention so use color images whenever possible and relevant. The Kindle Fire offer exceptional color clarity, so use color images in your e-book. Although the other Kindle reading devices have a black and white screen, Amazon has Kindle apps for other devices, such as iPhone or PC, which takes advantage of color fonts and images. All images on the Web display using RGB (red, green, blue) color mode, which is the color mode native to the Web and many color screen displays. Combinations of these three colors at varying levels of intensity create over 16 million colors. Borders for White Cover Art Cover art with white or very light backgrounds will disappear against the Amazon Kindle Store white background. Adding a very narrow (3-4 pixel) border in medium gray to the Product Book cover Image will define the boundaries of the cover. Uploading Your Cover to Amazon KDP To publish on Amazon, you need a Kindle Direct Publishing account. • Log in to your at • Select the checkbox next to the book you want to edit • Select the “Actions” drop-down menu under your book list and choose “Edit book details.” • Scroll down to the heading labeled “Product Image.” • Click on the button named “Browse for Image” • A pop-up window will appear. Click the button named “Browse.” • Locate your cover image file on your computer, click “Open.” • Click the “Upload Image” button. • Uploaded Successfully! Will appear along with the preview image. • When you have entered all other information scroll to the bottom of page and click “Save and Continue.” Rights and Pricing You are almost done. On this page you will need to reconfirm Content Rights, and click “Save and Publish” at the bottom of the screen. Changes will take effect on the web site within 24 hours. NOTE: The previewed image serves only as a placeholder while your book completes the publishing process. The publishing process can take about 24 hours (longer if they are backed up). So be patient. When to Publish Planning ahead is best, so if you want your book to be live and ready for purchasing by a certain date, then pre-prepare your book publishing information long before you plan to publish. The book sits in “Draft” mode until you publish. Just make sure you change the date on the publication before you publish. If you started the process in March 2011, and finally publish in July, the March date will be used. When working on your ebook, if you don’t have a product image Kindle will add a placeholder image to the Amazon detail page for your eBook. DO NOT LEAVE IT THAT WAY! Although the Kindle placeholder contains the title of your book and the first contributor name you entered, it is a generic book cover. While ANY cover produces a better customer experience than displaying a message that an image is not available, nothing can beat a well designed and enticing book cover. UPDATE 5/11/2012: THE DOUBLE COVER RETURNS It appears Amazon has stepped backwards, again. The “OPTION” of including the project image is no longer optional. Amazon now embeds your Product cover in your book and they state you do not need to include a cover.xhtml or cover.jpg file in your ebook. According to Amazon, “Including the cover image within the content of your book will cause the cover image to appear twice in the converted content of your book. Apart from that, there will not be any other issues. Therefore, if you do not want the cover image to appear twice after conversion, I would recommend you to remove the cover image from the actual content of your book. However, if it is okay with you for the cover image to appear twice, you needn’t make any changes.”. So basically we’re talking about cover art that should measure 600 x 800 px and no more than 127 KB, as JPG, for both covers (actual cover and product cover)? What about the dpi though: Is it 72 for BOTH, or just the Product Cover? Can you please expand a bit on this? (Is there any difference?) I also have technical questions regarding photographs to include in the ebook, but I will navigate around your website, as I’m sure you cover those as well. Thanks again for this website; it’s helping me a lot!:-) • says. I make both the internal and product cover 600 x 800 pixels. For the Internal Book cover 127 K size is from the KDP specs, so I would use it as your guide. “The largest element of almost any Kindle book will be the image content. Inside your book file, the Kindle book format supports JPEG and GIF images up to 127KB in size. Images that are in other formats supported for upload to KDP (such as BMP or PNG), or that exceed this file size requirement, will be automatically recompressed as JPEG files during the conversion process. Optimizing your images to fit these requirements before uploading to KDP will help decrease the size of your uploaded file. It will also reduce the chance of encountering difficulties in conversion due to large file size.” The Product cover goal is to be chart and stand out. If you use a resolution that is higher than 72 dpi for the Product cover, then the image looks “digitally”. All Images inside your e-book, should be at a higher resolution: up to 300 dpi. You want them as sharp as possible, but you also don’t want the ebook to become too large in size. Amazon charges for each download, which eats away at your royalties. Thanks for the questions and the kudos. Suzanne • TFT says. You don’t have to just use the JPG format – Kindle accepts (for interior images): GIF (or.gif) PNG (or.png) BMP (or.bmp) JPEG (or.jpeg) Example: JPG are best for photos or images with soft graduated screens. GIFs are good for single or spot color images, like clip art or illustrations. The best way is to test images and preview on an actual device or use an App (like Kindle Previewer or Sony Reader) before final publishing. You can use a lower resolution for the indies e-book images (below 300 dpi) — the Key is to make the images sharp and crisp, without making the final ebook size too large. • Craig Thiem says. Craig, I emailed you the instructions and code directly — Also, once you embed your cover image, check in the KDP and make sure your are not using your Product cover image for inside your book. It is a small checkbox next to the Product Image upload. Open your HTML file in a text editor such as Text Edit or NotePad.. Scroll until you see the opening body tag. Paste this code just below the tag. Make sure to redo the quotemarks so they are “straight” quotes and not “curly quotes” —.. NOTE: use the name of your cover image for cover.jpg. SAVE YOUR FILE.. ZIP both the HTML and Cover Image together and upload the zip file to Kindle. Make sure the file is RGB 2. Make sure you have a cover.xhtml page for Kindle document 3. Make sure you zipped the cover.jpg file with the document when uploaded... If it shows for the Kindle, then is should show for the Kindle fire Preview as well — If you send me the MOBI file I will take a peek on my previewer– send to me at and I will take a look.. PS — I now make my files a 6 x 9 (inch) ratio. Even though on the Kindle it is not a full screen image, it has a better feel and look. (the 600 x 800 is rather squarish). Carole, If you are formatting for Create Space then you are designing a high-resolution book for print.. Whether you book is a fiction (text) or a children’s book (illustration) is really a moot point. Create Space provides printing and design services. If you are hiring them to design your book, then that is a different matter.. All formatting for a print book should be at 300 dpi (dots per inch) minimum for the best quality printing. Anything less and your images will look soft. So images must be created to scale at 300 dpi and then the entire document exported for print at 300 dpi.. You can use as many typefaces as you want in a book, but I do not recommend it. It may get confusing for the reader; however it is your choice. Just note that each font should be embedded in the exported file for printing (embedding the font will increase the file size of the exported book). If the file becomes too large for you to upload or you have problems doing so, you may have to put on a CD and mail it to CreateSpace for printing.. If the poem is attached to the illustration as one file (ie/ Tiff or JPG), then embedding the font is not necessary as it is part of the image. Just make sure the file is 300 dpi.. Hope this helps, Suzanne • says. The finished size depends on the size of the book you are creating. And every printer is slightly different so Create Space should have this information.. But I would imagine that a 6 ” x 9″ book with gutters (that’s the blank space around the edge of the page) of.375″ (3/8″) would leave you 5.25″ x 8.25″ x (1575 x 2475 pixels). Here is CS Book Specs page:. I suggest you download the template they offer. Unfortunately, they offer Word templates. I prefer to work in InDesign so I create my own templates abased on CS Book Specs. Ebooks rarely have a “back cover”. They may include information About the author, but not a back cover as you would see in a tangible book. If you plan to upload the Word file to KDP, then I suggest you read Amazons publishing guidelines and also read Smashwords.. As for the (front) cover, KDP will embed your Product cover into the book. So you do not need to include it in the Word file. However, if you do, then you need to:. • Place the Cover on the page in the Word File • Zip the book cover image AND the Word file together (ZIP) • Upload the Zip to KDP for publishing. You will need a Compression program such as WinZip(PC) or Stuffit(MAC). Amazon Publishing Guidelines:. Kindle Publishing Tools:. Smashwords free style guide: • says. I wonder if I might ask your kind assistance.I have three books on Amazon Kindle today and I went through the Mobipocket creator system after making them HTML Web Filtered. I found when I got to the cover part I was able to insert my cover but never found a section about the cover for the inside of my book ie does it stay the same size or do I have to convert it smaller for the inside? Plus how do I go about doing that on Mobi creator please? Many Thanks Robert James Bridge I hasten to add although the cover of my books is o/k on KDp the inside covers are not turning out right for some reason? Robert, Unfortunately, I do not use MobiPocket as I have a Mac and it is ONLY for PCs. I use Sigil ebook editor and create a cover.xhtml page for the cover. The dimensions I make my book covers is a standard 6 x 9 inch book or 600 x 900 pixels. I just assume once a person has bought a book they rarely look at the cover, so I don’t make it too large in K size either.(around 150 – 200K, if possible) However, Kindle states that they will automatically insert your Product Cover (the one you upload in KDP) into your book, so it “appears” you do not need to include the cover “in” the book yourself you upload. Here’s a post I found from Mobipocket Developer Center (it may help): • Dee says. Like Demetius in the above comment, I don’t know what stock photos to buy to make my cover. I will be using pictures and photoshoping them together to make a cover. For example, say I need to get a picture of model and this person will only take up one quarter of the book’s 6×9 cover, if I have options like below, can you please tell me which one I should use for someone who be on a the cover for no more than 3″ x 3″. Thanks for any help: 1. 3.9″ x 6.7″ @72 dpi 280×480 pixels 2. 467×800 pixels 6.5″ x 11.1″ @72 dpi 3. 1323×2265 pixels 4.4″ x 7.6″ @300 dpi 4. 1709×2925 pixels 5.7″ x 9.8″ @300 dpi 5. 2162×3700 pixels 7.2″ x 12.3″ @300 dpi 6 6142×10512 pixels2 0.5″ x 35″ @300 dpi • says. Dee, First you need to decide what type of ebook you are making. One that will (eventually) be used for print or just an ebook. If you plan to print your book (print on demand) then you need to use a 300 dpi image. (number 3 in the list for a 3 ” x 3″ area). If you are only creating an ebook, then 72 dpi will work and you can get #1. (But if you decide to go to print you will have to redo the entire cover at 300 dpi and re-purchase the higher resolution image.) This is why I ALWAYS design at 6 x 9 inch at 300 dpi — this way, I am prepared for both ebook AND print. The image may cost a few dollars more, but I save myself a lot of time and aggravation in the future. Hopes this help — Suz • Dee says. Thanks, Suz, for the info as I’m making a print and ebook, so I’ll get the 300s. I also want to make a book trailer. I’m trying to keep my costs down, but do I need to buy the 300 pictures for those as well? (I’m hoping to get by with 72 since, it’s probably something that won’t even be looked at too much.) Also, I’m assuming for some of the licensing that it might be considered a “twice” use so, I’ll have to buy the photos that I use for both the cover and trailer. Or do they consider that all one project? Thanks, this is just too complicated for me! Demetrius, Do NOT convert your manuscript to JPG — JPG files are only for images. You need to read Amazon’s or Smashwords guide on how to format your book using Word. And you also need to read how to upload to KDP so you know what files to provide. Smashwords: Kindle: KDP: I prefer to convert my Word files to a clean HTML, and then use SIGIL or Dreamweaver to build the pages, CSS, etc. I then package them in an Epub, which Amazon KDP converts to an appropriate mobi file for distribution. However, you can just use Word, but you need to keep the formatting and styles correct. Please download the books above — they are free. • Demetrius says. It may be your book looks fine in Kindle Previewer because you are viewing on your own computer where remnants of the word Perfect still live. However, on other devices that do not have these hidden remnants, they see your book for what it really is. It is similar to using a typeface in your Word file that other users do not have on their computer. I had a client with a book in Word Perfect. It looked “perfect” on his machine, but when he would send me the file, what a mess of coding issues. Opening quotes were turned into a lowercase, capped and bold “Y”, closing quotes turned into question marks (?) plus a variety of other anomolies. If you still have Word Perfect on your computer, I suggest first trying to save the file from within WP to a WORD document. That may clean up the file. The other method is stripping out all the formatting and starting fresh. This may require copying the entire file and pasting into Notepad, with smart quotes turned off. (text only.) I tried every method I could think of for my client’s book and no matter what I did, the odd characters remained; I ended up having to manually correct the issues in Word. Let me know how you fare Suzanne • Joel West says. Hi, I have made an epub with Sigil that has a cover but the rest of the book are just jpegs. I scanned some pages in that contain images and text flowing around them, similar to a pdf. I would like the jpegs to fill up the entire screen on my Kindle Fire but no matter what I do they just will not. The are 1024×600 with a pretty low dpi. I tried adding width/height attributes to size them but that only made the images degrade, and they still wouldnt fill up the screen. Is there any way to do this? If I could get them the size of the screen it would look fabulous. And one more thing pertaining to this job while I got you on the line. When I preview this ebook on the Kindle Fire/Touch and the I-pad they look ok, but on the Sony reader and the Nook it cuts off the bottom half of the pictures. Can I fix this without messing it up for the Kindle and the Ipad? • Joel West says. Joel, The only image that is allowed to be “full screen” is the cover (at least for the Kindle). The remaining inside pages have the gutter. (I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure of this at this time) Every device has it’s own standard / and screen size. You’ll need to either make a file for each or specify the size change for the screen size being used in the CSS. (See @media rules here: ) You also need to be careful in designing for the Kindle Fire only. There are several other Kindle readers (e-ink, touch and the Apps) that will display differently. So you need to apply the @media amzn-kf8 for Fire and @media amzn-mobi for everything else (older Kindles / apps). I don’t understand having you text part of a JPG file. You can flow text around an image using the “float” property. Float does not work with the older Kindles and apps at this time, but for the Fire and Ipad it works nicely. You also don’t want your file size to become too large. This will cut back on your royalties (at least with Amazon). Hope this helps, Suz • Joel West says. Well the brochure that I was converting, I just scanned in each page and just called each page’s jpeg as a page. It was just a little project for my own experimentation and use. If it were a “job” I would have surely gone a different route. Also it is why I made it specifically for my Kindle Fire. Now a friend wanted to use it and of course the aforementioned problem. Now I have something to work on for more experience and education. I am practicing up for a job, (hint, hint):) Thanks for the great service! • Demetrius says. The cover looks like a self help for success book cover. Without reading the book I cannot tell you exactly what the cover should be, but as a graphic designer i would say the customer was right. The theme is detective, Sherlock Holmes, mystery. The image and colors, as well as the typeface chosen all need to convey the essence of the book without revealing too much. I envision a 3/4 view of a face, updated with sunglasses or holding a modern day revolver; a ghosting of the iconic Holmes hat or pipe could be included. Then in the dark background an image of a dead body, or whatever the mystery is. The title would be on the left, in blood red. I would also rethink the title: 221 B The Inventors Game A Sheridan Hope Mystery (subhead). Anyone that knows Sherlock Holmes will recognize the 221B. You can email me directly if you would like more information or help with your book cover. • Demetrius says. This computer is slow and I couldn’t locate an email address to contact you directly. What font or lettering do you suggest the title to be in.? I was trying to put together the images you mentioned in the last email I use stock photos from Dreamstime. There, you’ll find a silhouette of Holmes head, smoking a pipe, another of a long shadow of Holmes and one called “London” These images look interesting. There are also photo images of deerstalker, pipe and magnifying glasses together. I wanted the image of Hope to be like the silhouette of “Luther” on the BBC or Alex Cross on the book cover. I didn’t locate any stock image in sunglasses that I thought appropriate. Thanks again • says. Hi I’m desperate for help it is confusing getting through to actually getting my book onto kindle. I’d like to ask for my book cover do I put name of book on the cover plus my name then make it into a jpg? Daft question I know but I watched a video and it appeared that it was done without and they add it so now confused whether to do it with or without. Also kindle have now change the size for the cover they now want it to be 1526 x 2500 Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Great site keep up the good work Rosalie • says. The cover image for Create Space would be a higher resolution, but will work just fine digitally. However, you state the cover image is 600 x 800 pixels and 147KB — That is not high enough resolution for a Print (PO) book. A 600 x 800 pixel is only 2 inches x 2.667 inches at 300 DPI (dot per inch). A true 6 x 9 -inch book at 300 DPI equates to 2500 x 3333 – pixels. When considering POD, you need to think PRINT — DPI and 300 DPI is the target resolution — the lower the resolution the grainier the print. To make sure you like your print book, always order a proof copy before publishing online. To answer your question, YES, an e-book of 600 x 800 would work, even if it is larger than the size specified by Amazon. However, I commonly create a 6 x 9 -inch book and then export to 600 x 900 for my Kindle book (1500 x 2000 for iPad), instead of the 600 x 800. The reason is the introduction of the Kindle Fire in January. The 600 x 800 was for a full screen image on the older Kindle screens. Other publishers have their parameters they like — such as iPad. They prefer to have a larger image, though it is not necessary. That is why I recommend you design your book cover for print at at least 6 x 9 inches at 300 DPI, then convert to appropriate sizes at 100 or 72 PPI (pixels per inch) for digital consumption. Hope this helps, Suzanne • Steve says. Childrens book formatting, ie/ Fixed Layouts, are painful to format. Mainly because every device seems to have their own standards. Unlike an epub file that will work essentially across the board for Kobo, B&N and Apple, this is not the case for a fixed layout. And Kindle is, of course, is it’s own realm. So As for your design the choice is up to you: if you want the text on the image, and if you want e-readers to be able to “read” aloud the books, then you need only the images from your artist. The images are then placed as a background, and the text is floated on the top in the correct location. If the text and illustrations are combined, then you limit the children who can “read” the book — meaning reading devices for the visually impaired cannot read text that is combined into an image. A great source for learning more about Fixed Layouts. Josuah Tallent is a great ebook formatted and specializes in this type of format. Hope this helps, Suzanne • says. I too am working on a fixed layout children’s book. I am using In-design CS5 and all the goodies from Amazon (export plug-in and Previewer). I have read above that full page bleeds don’t work in your experience so I may have to change my layout or work around the gutter issue. My question is in regards to text on top of and image. Sample page can be fond here When I export the File from In Design the text ends up below the image and the full page image (set to be 600×900) is centered and doesn’t fill the page. My whole book is like the cover, with text on top of images as you can see by the example above so any advice would help with the rest of the book. Thanks in advance. BTW great information here thanks for posting these. Full page bleeds are referring to standard formatting. A fixed layout is en entirely different animal. InDesign is not creating a “fixed layout” but just an epub file. What needs to happen is the image is a background image (CSS) and the text is floated on the top. A great source for understanding fixed layouts is Ebook Architects. Joshua Tallent is very proficient in creating fixed layout books. Though understand the process is different per device, and so the cost for creation can be quite high. If you need any further help or questions, please feel free to contact me directly through my online contact form. All the best, Suzanne • LauraO says. I’m designing a Kindle ebook cover for a friend in Quark 9.3. I’m familiar with Quark but only Version 6. The digital world has changed a lot since (jeez). When I open a new project in Quark, I choose Kindle project and am given a menu for project dimensions. When I put in 600 x 900 pixels as you suggest, it gives me a blank document that has a physical size of 8.3” x 12.5” (not 6 x 9 inches as you suggested). If I change the physical box size to 6 x 9, I get proportionate pixel dimensions of only 432 x 649. I’m additionally confused by Amazon’s recommendation for 2400 pixels on the long side. Even at 72 dpi, that computes to a document size that is 18.5” x 27.8” and a file size of 7.62 MB!! How in the world can I get this doc to be the recommended size, recommended pixels, and no larger than 127 KB??? Many thanks for screwing my head back on right.:-) • says. The only reason I can see for the larger size is for the “look Inside” feature (which displays large on the screen) and perhaps for better resolution reader devices. This isn’t a print book so designing a cover to fit within the ratios I have given is just fine. (I have never had any complaints). I don’t see the reason for the larger file, especially for a digital book — unless Amazon is trying to increase the file size of your book and therefore deduct more from your royalties. I traditionally stay at 6 ” x 9″ (0r use 600 x 900 pixels) at 72 ppi, no matter what they have “recommended.” Also, I rarely have a book cover at 127K. It is more like 200 – 300 K (sometimes higher.) Kindle will take the image if you make it larger or smaller than recommended — and their “recommendations” are just that — recommendations, but not required. I hope this helps, Suzanne • Paulette says. Thanks Suzanne. I called a designer friend who has been working with Quark and PS for 25 years. He walked me through how to reduce the pixels/inch of the stock photo first, then how to export from Quark as a high-res pdf controlling for RGB color and bleed, how to import that into Photoshop and “save for Web” so I could then reduce the jpeg file size to fit to Amazon’s specs. I was trying to save to 127K based on your blog statement “The product image needs to be crisp, sharp, and does not need to be any larger the 127K.” It’s nice to know I don’t have to sacrifice clarity on the final jpeg that much and can give myself more latitude to the 300K+ range. Appreciate your response. Paulette • says. It may be that your image is not fitting the digital screen or that you have an empty paragraph at the end of the page (after the image). Older Kindles, for example are a 600 x 800 screen area, so if the image is larger than that, it will cause older Kindles to create a blank page. I designed the images just under the 600 x 800 area, but at a higher resolution of 166 ppi. In this way, when on the Kindle fire, people could double tap the image and it will enlarge to fit the screen and retain the higher quality. The other option is that after the image you hit return or have an empty paragraph tag. If this is the issue, then that could create a blank page. Very nice of you to answer all these questions! I’m hoping you can answer mine. I have two books of short stories on Amazon kindle ebooks. I wanted to put pictures on each title page and finally figured out how to do it or so i thought. When I check the preview before publishing, the one that shows up on Kindle Fire seems right, but when i look at it on just the Kindle preview it’s not right. My title shows up on one page, on the next page the picture shows up and then the page after that is blank. After the blank page my story shows up. What am I doing wrong? Hi I need a step by step instructions as to how to convert my book Please don;t refer me to links, they are not helping me. The book is a picture book with full color illustrations on each page with text embedded. These are the steps I took: Step 1 I took the illustrations 10.5 x8.50 in inches with text embedded and turned them into Gif’s at 300dpi Step 2 I opened a Microsoft Word Document Step 3 I did nothing to the Word Document except I inserted the illustrations I saved it as a Word Document. ( I even saved it as a web page, filteres and when I uploaded that there was no illustrations just a camera image) Here is the part where I think I am messing up! Step 4 I uploaded it to Kindle Direct. I previewed it and the illustrations are at the top of the viewer and they are not to the edges of the viewer, in other words they looks small and are at the top not even half way down the viewer. Please type in this email exactly what to do, step by step. Thanks • says. Rosemarie, This post is creating a book cover, the interior of a book is quite different. Also, I don’t have a lot about creating e-books from Word because of this very reason – you can’t manipulate elements like you can when working with the HTML. However, I have addressed your issues as best I can in the space afforded. = = = = = STEP 3 ISSUE: A camera image means the images are MISSING. First, when you created the HTML file from Word – Word took all the images and put them in a folder. They need to be included with the HTML file when you upload. Take the HTM file Word created and the Images folder and ZIP them together. Upload the Zip file to KDP. = = = = = STEP FOUR ISSUE: Image location on page. First, Word is not the best program for creating an e-book that requires special handling, such as a children’s book. When using Word, you are very limited to the instructions you can give, such as how to display the images on the page. There isn’t any way to make the margin space perfect using Word alone. Word is a word processing program, not a design program. And to tell the image to display with even margins on all sizes requires going into the style sheet. Since you only get to make one file for Amazon, that is for every Kindle, so you need to do some testing to see what looks best across the board. Resize your images to the an aspect ration that will work for the device you are targeting. The Kindle Fire HD, for example is 1280×800 pixel resolution at 216 ppi, or 6.06″ x 3.55″. Older Kindles are 800x 600 pixel resolution at 167 ppi. If you choose the larger screen, the image SHOULD proportionately reduce evenly to fit the other devices. But since all devices are differently, they will display with different white space around the image. (the only way to make the images flush for all devices is working manually with the HTML and style sheet) 2. Place each image on a separate page in Word inserting page breaks for each page. Do not add paragraph returns to get them to separate pages. The sempty paragraphs will show up as a blank page in your final output. This MAY help, but it still will not be a perfect layout. The reason is Word was not designed to create ebooks – especially ones that require more detailed formatting and styling, such as Children’s books. = = = = = I also want to note a few things: A. GIF is for spot color only, so if your childrens images have any detail (shading, for example), I recommend using JPG – the quality will then be retained. Learn the device you want to create the book for. The Kindle Fire HD, for example is 1280×800 pixel resolution at 216 ppi, or 6.06″ x 3.55″. Older Kindles are 600 x 800 pixel resolution at 167 ppi. You can see the newer the model, the higher the resolution. Margins: Since Kindles have various screen sizes. Only the cover is automatically flush to the margins if created to the correct dimension. To make the images flush to the entire screen requires creating a Fixed Layout book, which requires working with the HTML and style sheet. Additionally Fixed Layouts will display fine in the newer Kindles, but not on the older e-ink versions (Kindle 1,2,3). They don’t understand HTML 5 D. Lastly, by embedding your text in the image, you are removing the ability for the Kindle to “read” the story and the book will not be “accessible.” This means that if any of your customers are visually impaired, then their reading technology cannot read the text embedded in the image. The only way to fix this is to add Accessible-friendly code to each image (in the HTML) so it can be read. The Ultimate Guide to Citing Anything in Chicago Style Everything you ever needed to know about citing sources from the Chicago Manual of Style The Basics of Citing in Chicago Style The Chicago Manual of Style, currently in its 16th edition, was created to help researchers properly cite their sources. There are two types of referencing styles in Chicago: 1). Notes and Bibliography and 2). This guide displays the Notes and Bibliography style of referencing. Creating a Bibliography in Chicago Style The bibliography is a list of all the sources used in the paper. The list includes the important publication details of the sources. The bibliography must also follow the following format: • The citation list or bibliography must be single spaced. • The last names of the authors must be arranged alphabetically. • The second line of the source must be indented. Examples of Citing Different Sources in Chicago Style Generally, Chicago citations require: • Author • Title of book/article • Title of newspaper/journal • Publication year • Publication month and date • Publisher • City of publication • Date of access • Page numbers • URL or DOI (for some online sources) How to create footnotes and endnotes for Chicago Style Chicago's Notes and Bibliography formatting requires writers to use footnotes and endnotes when using in-text citations. These footnotes and endnotes acknowledge the different sources used in the work. When a source is used in a research paper, a roman numeral is placed at the end of the borrowed information as superscript (it is smaller than the normal line of text and raised). That number correlates with a footnote or endnote. • Footnotes are found at the bottom of the page • Endnotes are added at the end of the chapter or project • A footnote or endnote contains the complete citation information. • The matching number in the footnote or endnote is normal sized and not raised. • It is up to the discretion of the writer to either place the citation at the bottom of the page where the superscript is placed (a footnote) or to place all citations together at the end of the work (endnotes). Example: One would wonder, 'Would young Einstein be characterized as belonging somewhere on the autism spectrum? Would Erdos have been given a diagnosis of A.D.H.D.?' Words such as “E-book” and “Digital” are. How Do I Cite a Kindle or E-book Reader. For Chicago like APA, we recommend either citing the source as a. Aug 01, 2014 This video is based on the 16th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style and explains how to cite ebooks/online books (0:27) and ebooks downloaded to a PC. This section contains information on The Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting and citation. These resources follow the seventeenth edition of The. The Chicago Manual of Style website provides examples of how to cite ebooks on its website under 'Book published electronically'. In your citation, include the author. ¹ Footnote (placed at the bottom of the page) 1. Silver, Nate. 'Beautiful Minds.' The New York Times. July 13, 2013. Accessed August 04, 2015. If a source is used more than once in a research project, follow these guidelines: • When used again, instead of writing out the complete citation for a second time in the footnote, only include: the author’s last name, the title or a phrase for the title (if it’s more than four words), and the page number(s) that were used. This will reduce the bulk of citation information in the paper. Cohen, Micah, 'Rubio is Losing Support Among Republican Voters.' July 09, 2013. Accessed August 04, 2015. Wolf, Leon H. 'Marco Rubio's Campaign Must Adapt or Die.' August 04, 2015. Accessed August 04, 2015. Cohen, 'Rubio Losing Support' If a source is used consecutively, follow these guidelines: • When the same source is used consecutively, instead of typing in the citation information for a third time, use the abbreviation for ibidem: “Ibid.” Ibidem is a latin word that means “in the same place.” Add the page numbers immediately following. • If the same source AND same page number is used consecutively, simply write “Ibid.” Ibid. Stands for the latin word, ibidem, which means 'in the same place' Example: 3. Rosnay, Tatiana De. Sarah's Key, 24-27. Ibid., 133-134. Doerr, Anthony. All the Light We Cannot See, 397-401. For further clarification on Notes and Bibliography citations, consult the. Creating Your Citations in Chicago Style As mentioned, when you're following The Chicago Manual of Style, you'll be required to create a list of all sources used on your paper.

The contributions deal with Kant s work in a historical and systematic perspective and examine the philosophical significance of Kant s enlightenment philosophy as well as discuss its meaning for the future of Enlightenment thought. As someone who lives in Canada, I'm excitedly anticipating the arrival of my Kobo Arc — formally known as the Kobo Vox — in November. Move away from a Kindle E-Reader, for whatever reason, you will still be able to read your Kindle eBooks on the Kobo Arc by installing the free Kindle app, available. A friend sent me an epub book via email. How do I load it on to the arc to read? Both help your battery last longer. When your Kobo Arc 7 is asleep it still uses a little power, and when it's off, there's no drain on the battery. When you put your Kobo Arc 7 to sleep and then wake it up, it only takes a few seconds to go back to the last screen you saw, which could be a page in a book, your collections. In this video tutorial you will learn how to load eBooks on the Kobo Aura H2O! You will learn how to use Calibre. Kobo Arc 7HD How to import e-Books. Dec 31, 2012 help in transferring e-books to Kobo Arc Kobo Reader. I haven’t gotten the update yet but you can install it manually if you want it now. The download links can be found on the 4.3.8842 update thread. One of the major changes with this update is a new homescreen layout, but apparently it doesn’t show up for everybody. There are a couple of pictures of the new homescreen on the first page of the linked post above. A couple of other noted changes with the new firmware include the ability to change frontlight brightness by increments of 1% with the light dial buttons, and they’ve added the option to sort by series from the library. It seems there’s also a new way to add the nightmode hack by putting some code in the config file (see ). For those that have gotten the update, what do you think of the new homescreen? It’s a pretty big change from the tile layout. Connected my H2) to see if it was available here in NZ. Started the Kobo desktop and it said there was an important desk top update that had to be installed. Once that completed it just Synced with the H2O, thats all. Left it for a few minutes the ejected the H2O. Everything was the same, no new homescreen, etc. Then it switched to the updating screen. Five minutes later that finished, and restarted the H2O. On restart the usual homescreen appeared, but settings/about device say the firmware has been updated to 4.3.8842 dated. There was no indication that the firmware had even bee downloaded let alone installed, but it must have happened with the desktop update. I had my Kobo Aura configured with personal bookshelves (to look up articles and books more easily manually instead of using search options). Also I used the Pocket app on my cell phone to add internet articles to my Kobo account. As of yesterday with synchonising the automatic update was mandatory (no opt out) and after restarting my bookshelves were empty, Pocket vanished and synchronising again gave multiple errors while downloading Kobo plus books already ordered in this free first month period. Personal files (pdf format) on micro SD card cannot be approached, software version seems to be 2.1.0 (of 28-08-12) so updating must have gone wrong somewhere and because of errors seems to be kept original. Checked with USB cable, all epub books on internal memory (which is now 1200 MB of 1361 MB) are of weird (internal Kobo) format, only approachable by Adobe Digital Editions on PC. So no clear Epub format. I live in the Netherlands and updated my Aura 2nd edition yesterday. The new home screen is awful. Totally different. As I use my collections a lot I was very fond of my old home screen where they all were. Before, I could make the blocks I didn’t want to see disappear. Now I see all the advertisements on my homescreen. I don’t want that. It’s now as if my ereader is owned by Kobo instead of me. Does anyone know how I can get the previous homescreen back without losing everything? And someone told me if I do that I may not be able to use wifi ever again. I just read your reply. I had the update 4-3-8871, but because of the still returning popupscreen kobo said I had to sign out at my kobo account and then again sign in. Then I had the update 4-3-8842??? The one you have. I have back my old home screen (yessss) but I did lose my collections. Not the books though. I reinstalled my collections on my kobo by hand. I don’t use Calibre because I don’t know how. Then my kobo updated last Friday to 4-3-8945. That didn’t change the collections. I now switched off my wifi. I’m terrified I get a new update that will change my home screen again. And did you get your problems solved? My collections were gone too after the update. Today (March 2nd), I received another update which downloaded and installed ok but now my H20 won’t boot up anymore. Powering on, I get the 5 little squares showing boot progress and when the 5th square is solid black, no further activity is seen – other than the LED flashing. I let it alone for 10 minutes (about 1500 books loaded) but no change. I have a brick ? I’ll try resetting it through the small pinhole later this evening. I’m pissed with the low quality of the last 2 releases!! Business as usual. It’s funny because I love the kobo devices but I don’t trust their firmware updates at all. The last reader I bought *new* had to be rolled back right away because a firmware bug caused it to lose 50% of its battery overnight! Lesson learned, I stick to a known good firmware, disable wifi on my readers and do everything through calibre. This should not be necessary with actively developed, proprietary software. Get it together devs, seriously. I want to read, not tinker with software. WARNING: I will be fanboy’n now ? Seems I’m just a rare lucky one. I had no issues described above, even after update of upgrade (current version installed is 4.3.8929). I must admit that my H2O became even snappier. Unless I want to find a good thing in this update in spite of A TERRIBLE HOME SCREEN LAYOUT. Not that I was a big fan of old home screen but now the device has lost it’s character completely. Before just by this unique home screen you knew that it is a Kobo. For those who didn’t get a pushed update. It is only my assumption so I can’t tell you rock hard that it is like this. It all depends on your settings of Syncing and Update. I have set it to On and Sync Time is Night and I have switched off automatic power off when Nathan have posted news about Update available. I left the device alone and in the morning I had it updated. My intrusion was not required, don’t know how long it took, a minute or hour. But previous updates normally was not long at all. I didn’t even know there was a firmware update. Was loading books via Calibre and realized that I hadn’t synced my Glo HD since last month and opened up the desktop app to sync books I’d purchased since then when voila! It said something about updating firmware and I didn’t really pay attention otherwise I would have said no thanks. I’ve lost all my collections, though all the books seem to be still there and I dislike the new home page with a passion. Now you have to open the menu to get to the settings, etc and that infernal reminder about what things are and where to find them makes me grind my teeth. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? My partners Aura 2nd edition is still on the old firmware and methinks it shall remain that way for the foreseeable future. Yesterday a forced update occurred on my Kobo Glo. The bad news was my Mac would not recognize the KG via USB cable!? The good news is I located this mighty fine blog thread re the ongoing Kobo updates. First, I did not realize that GLO has actually “faded out of this universe”. Second the Kobo firmware update is now up to 4.3-8966 [ref Toronto, Canada]. Third I was able to a factory reset to the trusted functionality of 3.14.0 [ FYI: if it ain’t broke then don’t mess with it so true! Now I am able to download my local library Overdrive Epubs. Hopes this info helps others and my thanks to all for this blog. The new update to my Kobo Glo is nothing short of crap. After half a dozen factory resets, I finally got it back to something like working as intended originally. The interesting thing now (and I think it both annoying and funny) is the reading stats in one reading setting I can read anywhere between 1 and 15,460 hours as well as upwards of 20 books all in the space of about 15 minutes. Factory resets are not the answer as their are a painful experience. But when will Kobo realise that their latest software is Kindle’s best recommendation? I still prefer Kobo, but this latest stuff-up is trying my patience. Hi, can you tell me if you used Calibre as your backup library for all of your books before doing your factory resets? I don’t want to muck about with the Kobo desktop app or ADE. I just want to do a factory reset to get rid of this horrible new interface, not that I enjoy going through the process I also have a problem with sideloaded books showing up as black covers (try to guess which book you’re reading! Fun times!) or just white covers with typed titles. Any help you can give would be much appreciated. I have the Aura H2O which I love and I very rarely synch because Calibre does everything I want but now and then I do a quick check and got saddled with this piece of cr@p. Principle complaints: – lost all my collection – saddled me with a pointless, un-configurable ‘sales screen’ instead of the interface that actually provides functionality to me. And now I find that this has been going on for at least two months and Kobo doesn’t even have the decency to respond. I will be down-grading to a better experience and the WiFi will stay off in future. I was a big fan of Kobo before this and would recommend it to anyone who asked but not any more. You’ve just destroyed your USP by taking over my device to suit yourselves. UPDATE: Well I got around to looking up previous versions of firmware but prior to doing that I performed a factory reset on my H2O. When I restarted it it went through the initial setup as expected but still had the latest firmware on it. Strangely although reset is supposed to delete all content there were still some books left (although most were gone). Collections had also disappeared, as expected, but my trusty home page was back! I used Calibre to reload my missing books and as I recreated the Collections some books seemed to ‘remember’ they were members (or the Collection information was still somewhere in memory and remembered the books. It’s all working as before now, no sales screen, no setup on every boot, or What’s New although it still has the latest update on it. I’m delighted to have it back to normal but no part of this experience says anything complimentary about the quality of Kobo’s software or pre-release testing. I’m sticking to my previous resolution and not accepting any more ‘updates’ in future. I had no option but to update my KoboHD Aura. Annoying to have to “got it” everytime I turned it on. I read 2 pages of a newly downloaded book and screen went completely blank. Tried to power up though it had a lot of battery life left on it when I initially turned it on. Used different cables/usb ports. Sreen would flcker black a few ties then go to blank white. Tried basic reset. Emailed customer service. Called them, no help other than trying basic reset again. New email fom them advising my one year warranty was up and they will be contacting me about purchasing a new ereader! Ive never had a problem with my old reader or the newer Aura one before. Is this a sales pitch? Does new download cause problems so that your reader wont work, properly or at all in my case? Wish I could reset, but screen is blank. Any suggestions please, cannot afford a new reader at this time. I have a Aura H2O and am unable to read library books anymore since the upgrade. I can send books to the Kobo and can even read them on the Kobo via Adobe Reader on the PC if it is still connected. The Kobo gives me nothing but a flick through cover at the bottom of the screen to the book which won’t open. Searching for the book or author on the Kobo brings up no results. This seems to be a Kobo sofware issue not an Adobe Reader one if I can read it from the Kobo using the Adobe software if physically connected via the USB charger. All my collections have also disappeared. My old Kobo updated to 4.3.8967 and after that update it now have a severe screen corruption with a “band” of messed up old data (from previous screen). If you split the screen in 12 horisontal bands the one that is messed up is number 11 from the top. Putting it to sleep and back makes the screen look fine again. The easiest place to spot this is the Sudoku application, but it does show up on other screens too. Try for example “Read book”, go back to home screen, press “Sync” button on screen. Support got focused on the Sudoku that I gave them as an example and disregarded the actual problem entirely as the Sudoku feature apparently is going away ?. Sigh for low quality updates. Installed the new firmware on my Aura HD. Terrible front screen (75% space used by functions you don’t need or want for reading), reading hours has become an unreliable/randomly changing number, and the update ruined the book database on the E-reader. I was using Collections for organizing books and lots of articles, and with the new firmware all collections were empty. While the front page of my Kobo had been changed into some kind of advertisement leaflet for Kobo. (yet I remember just buying the reader, so I guess it’s mine, not Kobo’s?) Contacted Kobo helpdesk, they called but said sorry and nothing could be done, and after restart collections were not only empty, but gone. I had to restore my collections manually, reading the data from the database file I had stored in an earlier backup of my reader on my laptop. Took some hours. Since this I try to avoid the home screen, won’t ‘upgrade’ anymore, get my books from not-Kobo shops, and when I’ve got time will try to revert to the former firmware (not ideal either but much less irritating). Thanks for this information. I have updated my Kobo Aura HD once- last year- since I purchased it, in the hope that the new software would improve PDF viewing. PDF viewing didn’t improve. I will not attempt any further updates. I have WiFi turned off, so I won’t get any unwanted updates. I don’t recall any Collection erasure from the one update I tried. That being said, I like the Kobo Aura HD. What I considered broke in the Aura HD- PDF treatment- Kobo doesn’t want to fix. As Kobo doesn’t sell PDFs, as far as I know, there is no money in improving PDF software. My son has a Kobo Touch 2 – He hates the update. He has deleted everything and reset it, and we were going to follow the steps listed by Denis above (“Back up your data. Do a firmware reset on the Kobo. Turn off your WIFI and reload your books. Go to setting in calibre and set automatic management of books and that will update your collections.”) to go back to the old version but he says we can’t do any kind of set up without a connection to the internet and the WiFi no longer connects. ALl help gratefully received! I tried a million fixes and found something that worked for me. It isn’t “perfect”, but it let me start over from version 4.3.8945. I simply (HA! I took advice from many experts!) completely signed out of all Kobo-related accounts, then created a new one. In my case, I used a gmail account. You could certainly create a special email account just for this purpose. I then signed back in to Kobo avoiding the “add payment details” part, and to my utter disbelief, my Kobo asked permission to log on to my local wifi; I typed in the password, and lo and behold, all 300-odd books in my Calibre library downloaded with no bugs whatsoever! The home page is just like the one I used to have before the horrible storefront update, and I am a very happy camper! I hope this helps some of you. I haven’t tried to put things into collections yet, I’m just thrilled to have my book covers back, my entire library restored, and that nasty “BUY EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW” business gone! Hint to everyone: turn off your automatic wifi updates! I’m confused Kobo won’t queue out the firmware update unless you have payment info on file? And if that’s the case, why do you have to create a new account? Could you not just remove payment information on file? I ask because I’ve already had to do factory reset and reinstall just under 4000 books via calibre more time than I ever wanted to and just don’t have it in me to risk having to do it again. And I have the Aura ONE so I’d really like to enable my wifi to read library books and pocket articles directly from the device since that’s a major feature I paid for. Using WIFI was useful to me because I could read or purchase on either device (Kobo Touch at work, Kobo Arc7 at home), and be completely synced on either one. It took them a few years of frustrating updates to get the WIFI working correctly for the Touch. Now, they’ve gone and broken it again, with no promise of it ever getting fixed. Because I guess they’ve moved on to better things and forgotten about us. Maybe they want me to purchase a new Kobo!?! The usual corporate move. They should offer users an option whether to update firmware or not, or to just simply sync. I would think they’d end up with a happier and loyal customer base. Based on this and Kobo’s past performances though, I simply can not recommend the Kobo ‘reading experience’ ever again to anyone! For the most part, I like my Kobo Aura HD. Exceptions would be updates and handling of PDFs. I have come to the conclusion that the probability of Kobo improving its PDF viewing is rather unlikely. Kobo makes little to no money selling PDFs, so there is no financial incentive for fixing PDF viewing. In the nearly two years I have had the Kobo Aura HD, I have updated it once. From the horror stories I have read, I see no reason to update again, especially since Kobo is probably not going to fix its PDF problem. Is it just me, or my Kobo Aura now has less battery time?! Until the update (I live in Serbia, so it has reached me just few days ago), it went for weeks without the need for additional charging – I turn the light on only at night, and even then only 1%, and I mostly keep it offline, but I do read daily. And now battery fell from 100 percent to 75 percent in just two days?! And a screen sometimes blinks, which has never happened, until the update. Also, the new first page is nothing revolutionary (the old one was good enough, I would have kept it if I could). The light won’t shut off every time I press the button, and my Kobo now refuses to power off like it’s set to do (after 10 minutes). It stays in sleeping mode. Btw, I gave up trying&hoping to read PDFs on Kobo long time ago •. Thank you so much Nathan. Following the instructions I have managed to get my Kobo Glo (Mk4) reverted back to, the much more comfortable, V 3.19.5761 successfully. I deleted previous versions from my Kobo and then added the new one so that no confusion was going to happen. I loaded the unpacked version (including the zip file, just in case). I then ejected from my computer before unplugging, I then waited for it to configure itself. My only problem is that, again, the machine is not reading the books on the sd card. The card is showing in ‘Settings’. ‘Device Information’ as Micro SD- 15101MB of 15185MB available. The card is a Sandisk Ultra 16GB which has been working perfectly for a couple of years untin the new Kobo update. I do remember that I had problems just like this in the past but can’t remember for the life of me what I did to get the card working. (I have tried renaming the card a couple of times but to no avail. Any further help would me much appreciated and thanks once again for your help so far. Thanks again Nathan. I searched through MobileRead and found some references to my problem and tried various solutions to no avail. For some reason, probably in frustration, I then tried opening a book folder on my card and found. It was empty. So were all the other individual book folders. Yet the card and contents were working perfectly prior to the unwanted and unexpected update. All I can think of is that the update to V 4.4 9344 must have corrupted the files on my card. Luckily, I back things up so I re-loaded the card with the original files and – hey presto, all is well again. My advice to anyone who thinks their machine is going to update is get that card out ASAP. Obviously, my other advice is to backup all your books just in case. Thanks again for your help and advice, it is much appreciated. I hope my explanation of what happened to me will help others. I was in Quito, Ecuador in February. I don’t speak Spanish; I was a tourist; I know no one there. Overnight my Kobo received an update. All my books were gone. Idiots at Kobo said I should connect it to a computer, download some software and update it. I’m going to find someone to loan me a computer, install some unknown software on it and use it? When I got home to Canada, the person on the phone could not help at all. Eventually, I’ve forgotten how, I got most of my books back. But the performance of the original Kobo was never stellar and is much slower now. And I, too, greatly dislike the new interface. Rotten work on Kobo’s part! And, even though they use Linux for the firmware, they do not provide a Linux desktop for updates via PC – maybe that’s a good thing! Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest version of Kobo Desktop. I then purchased 4 new books. But.I’ve not been able to sync them onto my Kobo Glo HD. I’m able to connect my Kobo to the computer via a USB Cable and can initiate a sync. I get a message saying “loading dictionaries” then after a while one saying “updating annotations” then awhile after that one saying “loading content”. This message stays on the screen for ages with the sync icon twirling around in circles as if it’s doing something but it isn’t. Eventually I think something times out and Kobo desktop shuts itself down. I’ve even tried syncing via WiFi but the same thing happens. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m not sure what I should do. The ebook scene is a different animal then the music scene. Name an album and I can almost guarantee that you we'll be able to find an illicit copy of it somewhere. Conversely name a book. Let's say a current book on the Globe and Mail best seller list. Now, I can almost guarantee you that you'll be hard pressed to find an illicit copy of that book somewhere. The genie is out of the bottle on the MP3 scene but content providers aren't letting the same thing happen with the EPUB scene. DRM mostly but I'm also guessing other facts play a part: market fragmentation, pirates don't read, lack of a clear winner in the ebook file format wars. But I digress. Free ebooks are out there First and foremost you don't need to resort to piracy to get ebooks. Plenty of legit, public domain books can be downloaded and added to your Kobo without the pang of guilt. Here is a short top list: - This site provides an extensive collection of digitized classics available in a variety of formats. Currently the site has about 33,000 titles and chances are, if it's a classic, you'll be able to find it here in a variety of different formats. - The IA has a huge collection of digitized materials that come from a large number of different sources. Once again this is a collection of public domain works, so you might only be able to find older material. If you look though it shouldn't take long to find something. - This site is also a collection of mostly public domain books but it benefits from having nice cover images and pleasing smooth fonts. Adding Gutenberg Books to your Kobo You'll find the procedure for adding these ebooks to your Kobo really straight forward: 1. Download your ePub File Mmm. Math based Sci Fi Romance Not Every Book has an ePub Version 2. Plug in your Kobo Yup, it'll work in Linux 3. Drag and Drop the File It doesn't matter what folder but root is good enough 4. Eject & Read a Wow, those Gutenberg books have great cover art. Back to eBook Piracy I can see how content providers want to protect their investments. I can also see how an author wants to be compensated for their effort, but ebooks might not take off because of crippling DRM, lack of a standard open format, and no real price incentives. Leaving piracy as an only alternative. Take for instance. You buy an ebook, unlock it, and you only have limited access to what you can do with the digital version. I mean you bought it, not leased it, why can't you do what you want with it? Even iTunes sells music. Why can't you get an ebook without it? How about ebook formats? At last check there were 26 different ebook formats listed on. That makes for a particularly difficult choice of ebook platforms and software for the average reader. I'm casting my vote for ePub with my purchase of the Kobo but who's to say that MobiPocket won't be the winner in the end. (As long as the PDF doesn't win I'll be happy) How about price incentives? Here's the of the popular The Girl Who Played With Fire. The is actually 50 cents more. Granted there is a bit of a markdown on the list price for both versions but would you pay 50 cents more for a version of the book that isn't restricted in any way? To me, this means that the cost of producing a paper book is negligible and a non factor. Which seems counter intuitive. I don't get a specific break on the price because I'm getting an electronic version instead of paper. I'm at a loss to explain how this happens. In amongst all this discussion of piracy and compensation I'm reminded of. He's posted every book he's ever written free and online through his site. He's mentioned that it has actually driven up sales of his works. Here's the most pragmatic calculation I could devise: If you tie down an ebook with loads of DRM and sell it for 10 bucks a piece you'll be lucky to sell let's say 100 copies creating a revenue of $1000. Say that book is pirated and distributed to 100,000 people, if only 1% of those people end up buying the book at some point you're still generating the same revenue and a lot more people have read the book (or skimmed it at least) getting the author more exposure, increasing the chances that the book will be turned into a movie. I guess what I'm saying is that MP3 piracy kicked off a lot of things; digital music sales, new distribution methods for music, and (finally) competitive prices for music. Ebooks needs a similar kick start, not to say piracy is the answer but maybe the removal of DRM is a good first step and an act of good faith. CNN has said that the age of is now upon us, however there also is evidence to show that increases book sales. I'm not sure exactly how the future will go with ebooks and print books but it would be easier to call if DRM wasn't in the picture. EPubs have emerged the true winners already, IMO. I just downloaded 900 books in about 30s (torrent p2p download method) and copied them over onto my kobo. Boom 900 free books - some old, some new, etc. Thing is with this - people won't have to decrypt DRM files to make epubs, they can make epubs without the kobo/DRM platform (independently of.) and since kobo reads plain file format ePubs. Just makes it too easy. Not that I condone piracy, but should a DRM downloaded file really cost 10$? I realize the author has to make money, but there is *NO* overhead. No store, no staff to hire, no print even. Maybe the issue is the publishers take most of the authors profits, but I really have no problem doing this. If I found a photocopied book on the street (public domain, as the internet is) I wouldn't feel guilty taking it home. Just my two cents, I know ppl disagree. PS: Just for the heck of it, I went to the Globe and Mail bestseller list. I looked for the top 5 items on the list on a pirated content site I know about. Of the top 5 on the G&M Bestsellers list this month, 2 of them are available as ebooks. 4 of them are available as audio books (again, more like music, CDs and all). 2/5 is certainly less than the 100% you'd surely get from the top 5 pop music albums. But I bet higher than you expected. Somewhat higher than _I_ expected, at this still fairly early stage in the ebook adoption curve. So apparently DRM-craziness has it's limits already. One reason there is so much less ebook piracy: Before the internet even happened, there were a whole bunch of non-DRM'd digital copies of albums already out there in the form of CD, which could be very easily shared. There are many fewer ebooks out there compared to how many CDs are out there. This will change as ebooks get more popular, I think it's not a question of 'if' but 'when' ebooks become very popular. Which is exactly why the book publishers are so concerned with making all of these copies DRM'd copies. They don't have the 'legacy' problem of music publishers, a whole pre-existing business model built on non-DRM'd digital copies that play in an installed base of hardware that doesn't handle DRM (CDs). So the lesson they draw from this is to prevent that from happening, by making sure all the digital copies that increasingly get out there are DRM'd. (Of course people CAN scan their own paper books, but an analogy would be people digitizing their own vinyl LPs to pirate. It happens, but if that's what it took for all music piracy, there woudln't be much music piracy). So I don't see them easily giving this up. What I do see happening is that DRM'd ebooks are going to become increasingly popular, a larger and larger part of the book market. At that point, when they reach critical mass, perhaps people are going to find a way to pirate them anyway (no DRM is all that secure, in the end). Or perhaps the inconvenience of DRM will make people complain a lot. Either of those things _might_ open up space for a non-DRM ebook market. But prior to that. I agree with the high cost of eBooks being absurd. I happily sat down at my computer tonight and logged onto Kobo's website and after looking at a few pages and seeing that the average selling price was $10+ dollars I said 'Nope'. I would've been happy to pay 2-5 bucks for books for my daughter but paying the same price as a hardcopy is a no deal for me. That's why I don't buy my kids books right now, because I can't afford them. So I'll stick to the library for now until the prices become more realistic.

Why is this open-source tool so popular? Because it automates a tedious task: persisting your Java objects to a relational database. The inevitable mismatch between your object-oriented code and the relational database requires you to write code that maps one to the other. This code is often complex, tedious and costly to develop. Hibernate does the mapping for you. Not only that, Hibernate makes it easy. Positioned as a layer between your application and your database, Hibernate takes care of loading and saving of objects. Hibernate applications are cheaper, more portable, and more resilient to change. And they perform better than anything you are likely to develop yourself. Hibernate in Action carefully explains the concepts you need, then gets you going. It builds on a single example to show you how to use Hibernate in practice, how to deal with concurrency and transactions, how to efficiently retrieve objects and use caching.

Hung Kuen Fundamentals: Gung Gee Fok Fu Kuen by Hing Chao International Guoshu Association Dragon, tiger, snake, leopard, crane: these five animals are the hallmark forms of hung kuen or hung gar kung fu - a southern Chinese style of martial arts derived from the famous shaolin brand. Hung kuen schools exist in every corner of the world - from China to the United States, Canada and Britain. Still, in sharp contrast with shaolin kung fu, hung kuen remains little understood. 'Hung kuen without a doubt is a pillar of southern Chinese martial arts and one of the most respected and widespread systems of kung fu in the world today,' writes the author, cultural conservationist Hing Chao. 'Yet,' Hing adds, 'despite the information age of today and thousands of dedicated practitioners worldwide, there is hardly any literature out there documenting the art itself. How many out there truly understand the real art and the rich tradition of hung kuen or its fundamental tenets, principles and core techniques? Or know the factual information about its long, colourful and at times confusing history?' Written to set the record straight, the guide traces the roots of hung kuen, showing the moves and techniques through words and pictures. The guide commands authority because it is edited and produced by fourth generation members of the founding Lam dynasty, under the guidance of leading light grandmaster Lam Chun Fai. Plus, the guide is prefaced by Hong Kong's financial secretary, John Tsang Chun-wah, who writes outstandingly well. 'I became an enthusiast and follower of this art as a child half a century ago when kung fu practitioners of all denominations and styles from all over China fled and arrived in Hong Kong during a period of volatility at home. I remember the plethora of rooftop kung fu clubs, lively lion dances and demonstrations as well as enchanting stories of mortal sparring confrontations,' he writes. 'To me,' he adds, 'kung fu is not only an art that trains one's body, but also a fitness exercise that trains one's mind. Practising kung fu has given me a clear picture of the richness of my culture and heritage.' Excerpts about brawling raise questions about hung kuen's cultural clout, but the guide is a sharply written and compact contribution to martial arts literature, which should draw more than a niche audience. Who could fail to be curious about an overlooked martial art incorporating the dragon and leopard?

Book Description Head First Java 2nd Edition pdf Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn’t always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you’re forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It’s constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that’s the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won’t interfere with your brain’s real work–recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It’s like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you’re out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That’s how your brain knows. And that’s how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You’ll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. Second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever. If you’ve read a Head First book, you know what to expect–a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven’t, you’re in for a treat. You’ll see why people say it’s unlike any other Java book you’ve ever read. By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain–complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book’s for you. Table of Contents Chapter 1. Breaking the Surface: a quick dip Chapter 2. A Trip to Objectville: yes, there will be objects Chapter 3.

With facts about green foods such as spirulina and blue-green algae and information about the 'regeneration diets' used by cancer patients and arthritics, it is also an accessible primer on nutrition--and a inspiring cookbook with more than 300 mostly vegetarian, nutrient-packed recipes. The information on Chinese medicine is useful for helping to diagnose health imbalances, especially nascent illnesses. It's smartly paired with the whole-foods program: because the Chinese have attributed various health-balancing properties to foods, you can tailor your diet to help alleviate symptoms of illness. For example, Chinese medicine dictates that someone with low energy and a pale complexion (a yin deficiency) would benefit from avoiding bitter foods and increasing 'sweet' foods such as soy, black sesame seeds, parsnips, rice, and oats.
