40 To Go: Beginnings – EBook


Shifting from Amazon this time around, 40 To Go will be released as a regular series in EBook format, similar to Scratch. The advantages here are the embedding qualities found in making an ePub are a whole lot smoother and acceptable. Would have stuck with Amazon/Kindle but the Kindle Fire isn’t ready right now.

So, lets see how we fair with Barnes and Noble and their Nook.

40 To Go: Beginnings officially starts the series and, technically, can be called a pilot. Below is a sample of a scene of audio from the … the … what the hell is this? Not a comic book. Not really a motion comic or a graphic motion comic.

Well, that’s why I came up with Emotionry.com (E-Motion) … kind of a twist on Ebooks and ‘motion’ and ‘emotions’, which is what I strive to touch in readers. Gosh I’m either corny or ingenious. THAT will be discovered years from now. Right now, people think I’m crazy.

I just can’t understand why nobody can see the plentiful value out of multi-media eBooks? Meanwhile I’m getting blank stares as if I’m talking in f’n Russian. I just don’t get it.

Well, if that cooks their perspective, then this plan I have for placing ‘banner ads’ in this eBook will really get them going. The idea is, since the failure of Kickstarter, somebody has to pay! So, instead of a free regular online series … 40 To Go gets a $1.99 price tag slapped on it, people pay for banner ads and a page or two of ad space and suddenly I’m making a profit from whence there was none.

[Update] Scratch Version 2 – sans embedded a/v


With the Kindle Fire being the problem child in the mix … and everyone just DYING to get their hands on a Kindle Fire … making my readership 75% Kindle Fire owners, something had to be done for those owners that couldn’t read Scratch because it stopped working on KF.

So, i nixed the embedded audio and video and just left the links which are easily accessible.

Not the same effect I wanted (as you would get with the Android Kindle App, which is where the embedded audio/video worked 100% (strange as it sounds). But not everyone has the Android or the app for it. and it was iffy everywhere else too so just to play it safe … it was fun while it lasted, but now Scratch is just the regular story with regular hyperlinks.

Just uploaded it so it should be ready to go by the morning. It’s running for free so I’ll let it run till Friday as planned.
