Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 I just ordered the print version and the epub version....I'll wait to thumb through the print version but did notice in the epub version a reference to an 1860 F/P HALP penny...That should be 1861..... for the record, but not vital to the book, it exists with both obverse 6 & obverse 7th. Also the display of the epub file on my samsung 3 tablet, 7 inch, when using aldiko reader,is viewed properly only when held horizontally.......looks excellent though and the electonic version will be handy, having it with me... and the hardcopy for permanent reference. ?

Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Bugger.I'll make sure I go through this thread when preparing the new edition! In fact, it's a good place to mention these little probs that have crept in.Due to the fixed layout format of the tables and some images it does mean that the ebook version doesn't really display optimally on smaller screens. Hopefully, although the formatting may be a bit skew whiff, it should all be understandable. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Am trying to copy the epub file to my phone now, but might have to wait till I get home....I might like a pdf version for my laptop too Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Is it an iPhone? Garrett has experience getting it onto the iPhone. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 It's a samsung illusion..... an android phone Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 The ePub should also look fine on a laptop. Android, hmmm, it should be easy to copy it into whatever ebook directory you have for use with whatever reader you have (I've got an Android with Aldiko). As mentioned above, small screen devices don't display fixed layout epub files that brilliantly. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 it works with aldiko on my tablet...copied it to my phone but aldiko won't open it tbere..... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Oh. Does it give a hint as to why not? Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Just says it could not load file.... Quote
Garrett Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 All I did with my iphone was open the attachment from hotmail and the rest happened automatically.Good luck getting it sorted ! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Just says it could not load file....I'm not sure what to try. Aldiko the latest version? I'll try on mine. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Tried emailing with gmail & hotmaildid not work... Quote

Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 No, you won't have to buy another. I can email it to whatever account you want, as many times as you need! Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks Chris...Don't know if that will work though...I've already emailed to myself..and it didn't work..unless the file is protected and can only be installed on the device that downloaded it.. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 No, the ePub version has no restrictions. Quote

Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I emailed it to myself, uploaded it to my website and tried installing it from there... Did NOT work...Redid the same with the original file.... 3.4 mg s still did not work...Tried opening it in calibre, would not open, said not a valid ZIP file.....I'm flummoxed for now, but I have other things to concern me for the next few days.....Then I'll readdress the issue or challenge, if you will.... Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 I wonder if it was somehow corrupted on download. I used Calibre to create it from the mobi file, so that should be absolutely fine. I'll email it to you. Quote
Peter Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I still prefer our postman Deano."I've left it in your blue bin Buh"Can't beat that. Quote
