e-book

свети минаI’ve done some research on the e-book situation and it seems straightforward, except for one thing: the cover.

I know the saying goes ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’ but I think we all do, and a rubbish cover will put us off picking a book up. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I hated my book cover, so I’m not too upset that I can’t use it (I may own the copyright to the book, but certainly not the cover). However, it does mean that I need a whole new cover before I set up my e-book.

I have an idea, but I don’t have the skills to make my own cover (I think a graphic artist does it…but not for free). Don’t have the money to pay someone else to do it, so I’m at an impasse (is that the right word – am tired so not sure). When I solve the problem, I’ll let you know.

Finally, I have a new computer that a) works b) is light enough that it will sit on my lap for a little while and c) the screen isn’t too bright. I’m hoping that it is a keeper and it lasts a good while. Realised lately just how much I rely on my computer!
