Experimenting

I have been doing a lot of thinking about starting a for-profit publishing endeavor. In support of that I’ve been puttering around with the making of an ebook.

Now, I finally think I’ve got it ready enough to show to people. It’s an ebook of a long essay I wrote called “An Argument for Moral Art” and I’m distributing it for free from the Project for a New Mythology website. It can be downloaded as an ePub file for those with iPads, or Nooks, or some other eReader that using the ePub format. It can also be downloaded as a Mobipocket file, which is read by the Kindle reader.

Since I don’t yet have a dedicated eReader of my own, I’ve had some associates who have iPads and Kindles test the file and they didn’t seem to have any issues. If you also don’t have an eReader, never fear. The ePub file can be read by theStanza reader for Mac and PC, the Adobe Digital Editions reader for Mac and PC, and the Kindle reader for Mac and PC. I’ve got all three and a few others loaded on my Mac and Vaio, and everything looks good.

The free ebook is distributed with a Creative Commons license, so you are free to copy and distribute the ebook all over the place as long as you acknowledge me as the author.

Give it a whirl. Then discuss.
