Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Just thought I'd prostitute my book, which is about to hit the warehouse (in printed form) and is, for the first time, available as a Kindle eBook on Amazon and also as an .epub for other eBook readers on the Rotographic website. I've carefully updated every section.To order a printed version including free UK delivery, go here (£7.35):http://mydgs.co/fchHjXTo order a printed version including Worldwide delivery, go here (£10.00):http://mydgs.co/G82ivuTo buy it as an eBook in Kindle format from Amazon, go here (around £4.40):https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HB6ONR2?tag=predecimalcoi-21&camp=1406&creative=6394&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B00HB6ONR2&adid=118131QCA7HN4WHJG6ZV&To buy it as an .epub eBook (for most other readers) go here (£3.50):http://mydgs.co/ch8dduUK orders may be in time for Christmas, but I can't promise at this stage!Thank you.

Coinery Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Just ordered, thanks Chris! What was the address form about, I've never had that before when paying with Paypal? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks.It's because it's not naked paypal, it's dressed with a www.digitalgoodsstore.com landing page. Buyers go through them. Mainly useful for delivering the eBooks securely, but it also serves the purpose of quickly getting links done for the printed version. Shall I address it to George Coins? Quote
Peter Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Send it to the Coinie with a 70ft boat...there can't be many. I've just ordered mine.I see Spink have missed Xmas again Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Did you order it on Amazon Peter?Spink is available, but the official listing doesn't have a picture yet. Greenlight are offering it (with a picture) too. Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I see Spink have missed Xmas again Copies have been available well in time for Christmas on Southampton Row. Did you pre-order, Peter, using their silly email form? Quote
Garrett Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 I just paid through Paypal for the e-pub version but Safari "could not open" the download link.Do you mind if I forward the receipt later (just on the train to work now) and get it emailed ? Cheers Garrett Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Stuart G - check.Thanks Bob.Garrett - yours is the order with the Hotmail address I assume? I'll email it to that address right now. Quote
davidrj Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Just ordered my copy - has to be ink on paper for me Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Thank you David and MRD. Quote
Garrett Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Garrett - yours is the order with the Hotmail address I assume? I'll email it to that address right now.Fantastic thanks very much Chris what great customer service !The book looks great on the iPhone. I just tapped your email attachment to download and opened it up in iBooks (a little program that looks like a book shelf, and keep all your books together).I have flicked through the first few dozen pages (it's 400+ pages on the iPhone) and all looks good. Will have a better look later on (at work now).cheers and thanks again !Garrett. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Good to hear! It's a bit complicated with eBooks and I don't fully understand all the various formats and readers yet. I converted the .mobi file to .epub myself but only tested it with Calibre, the reader mainly aimed at PCs. The .mobi file was converted from the original print PDF out of house. Quote
jaggy Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Wow! That was easy. Bought the epub version for iBooks on my MacBook Pro. The whole process took about 30 seconds!First time I will have used an online reference book and only the second time I have downloaded a book to the Mac. So we will see how I get on with this new fangled tek .... tekno .... techlog ..... computer thingy Quote
Peckris Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I have a Kindle and also a Mac - which version should I get? (I'm running OS X 10.6 not Lion or anything later, so I probably don't have access to iBooks, though I do use the App Store). And are the digital versions fully illustrated like the paper ones?'Scuse the questions, but I'd like to get a digital copy Quote

Otherwise, go for the Kindle version.Alternatively, buy a new super-duper Mac. That is what I did after my old one start to go on the blink after 5 years of intensive use.Edit: looks fully illustrated. Edited December 18, 2013 by jaggy Quote

Unfortunately, I'd have to abandon Photoshop (CS2 - one of my 'killer' apps) if I had anything later than Snow Leopard, as it needs Rosetta in order to run. Quote

That said, on my 2008 Mac (the one I just replaced), I started with Leopard, and upgraded through Lion. My new machine has Maverick but I had no problem loading Photoshop Elements (v 10.0) from my old machine onto the new one.CS2 does appear to be available for later Macs so that might be worth looking at.
