Default Gordon .... A 1000 thank you's!!

Gordon,

I'm stuck for words for the first time in my life!

What can I say.... I've just logged on... And my site stats have just exploded off the screen....
Not to mention ebook sales.

Now I know why!

Not only is that the very best testimonial I have ever received in my humble life for anything I've done ..... It's also a great honor!....
Coming from yourself as one of the most respected voices on the Web today.

A thousand thank you's

Your student in life, marketing & Remote Hypnosis

Warmest Regards

Ricky Higgs

Default Question???

Ricky:

Since you are an e-Book master ...

Where; or how, can I set up whereby I can read the e-Books on my Mac?

I have been on Mac ... for typesetting (beats the PCs all hollow) and now for my Internet work ... since 1984 - but - I can only read about 1 out of 5 e-Books that I download (even when I pay for them).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim

Default Running Windows software on a Mac...

Hi, Jim.

How's it goin'?

Ricky may have other helpful suggestions, but one option is to use Virtual PC (by Connectix) to run Windows-based e-books and other software on a Mac. But I hear it can be painfully slow. :-(

Side point: The above is another reason to consider Adobe Acrobat for e-book formats. It's both PC- and Mac-friendly.

Default Re: Question???

Hi Jim,

Marty got in before me and answered your question.
Yes, I use Adobe Acrobat PDF for my ebook.
(I hope you were able to read my ebook from the link and password I sent you)

Acrobat also has these advantages;

1. Cross platform - both Mac & PC - can be viewed by any type of computer that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

2. Over 100,000,000 users world wide - Industry standard

3. PDF ebooks & documents will be able to be read on Microsoft's "ebook Reader" which will no doubt be included with future versions of Windows as standard.

4. Built in Security features - password protection

5. Convert to PDF from any word processor / desktop publishing software with ease.

6. Good compression - smaller file sizes, leading to faster downloads

7. Reliability- I've never had a customer who could not open and read my ebook in PDF.

Hope this helps

Ricky

Default Thank You ...

Marty & Ricky ...

I have no problems with PDF files ... the problems arise with other eBooks. If I even knew what program was used to create them, I could find a Mac version of the application and use it to cross platforms ... as I do with the PageMaker applications I use on Mac with the same applications on our corporate PCs.

Hey Ricky ... I don't recall receiving anything about an eBook from you. Then again, I suffer from sometimer's disease ... sometimes I remember, sometimes I don't.

Thanx again,

Jim
