Converting poetry books to ebooks 6/7/2011 11:43:42 PM
An update on my 'converting my poetry books to ebooks'.The series for older readers, Daily Life, From Darkness to Light and A Spiritual Journey are now completed. Converting my poetry books to ebooks suitable for the Kindle, Ipad, PC and Blackberry, is now ( believe it or not) not difficult, just time consuming. But, the end result justifies the effort as seeing and hearing the ebook is the reward.
The Kindle has a text to speech facility - and so I am having to add more punctuation to make the 'reader' have pauses. Amusing though it may be ( very briefly, I may add!) to have continuous words, the poems hardly make sense without the relevant pauses. Hence each and every sentence of my hundreds of poems has to be read then commas and fullstops are added. Happy days!
What has surprised me, however, is that, though there are hundreds of poems,some of which are quite long and written several years ago, I can remember virtually every line as I do this task!
So far, the poetry books converted and available on Kindle are my series for older readers - 'Daily Life','From Darkness to Light' and 'A Spiritual Journey'.
Kind Regards
Audrey
