ebook download surges

Phenomenal, is all I have to say. Phenomenal. Honestly, I think this is great. It is far to easy to read this as though I intend irony or sarcasm, but there are people out there in the world who have freely chosen to look at my art. I think that is amazing. And now I sound naive. Yes, it isn’t 10,000 after three days like Diesel Sweeties. I have no idea how many, or if any at all of the PDFs have been down-loaded, but I do know the download in Ireland isn’t from a relative. :-)

My first iBooks eBook iBooks Author book

Yesterday I downloaded iBooks Author. It kills to spell that in American. While poking about and figuring out the interface and its design sensibilities, I managed to put together a short little ebook of the 20 Landscapes IV images. As carefully as I could I filled out all the fields and forms in iTunes Publisher, and waited while the book went up to the iTunes store.

Three or four days ago, I was looking into the possibility of using Book Creator on the iPad to do the same. A short twisted path of instructions required a special tax number from the IRS for foreign citizens and a few weeks of passing around notarized photocopies of my passport.

There are free PDF files available from the links just over there to the right. The files are big, and readable, of course, on a Mac or PC.

This shorter, more compact version is more attractive, livelier and somewhat more interactive, and designed especially for the iPad, and the whole thing was so damned easy.

Is there interest in a cat book?

The cat book pictures would look like this.

At a recent prompting, that being an inquiry about sales, I fell into the book making portion of iPhoto. As such, I put together a few books of things. One of these would be a collection of some of the various cat drawings I have done on my iPod and iPad in the various paint and draw apps I have accumulated.

Are you interested? I am not soliciting pre-orders. The Cat book would be coil bound, 20 pages plus covers, Continue reading Is there interest in a cat book?
