    From Arelor@21:2/138 to All on Friday, January 15, 2021 04:43:20
    Hello!

    I have finished re-editing Chapter 7, both for the English and the Spanish version of the novel. This chapter is a favourite for the fans. It did't
    need much re-tweaking.

    I may play with alternate formatting options for the epub version. The current draft (available at [my store](http://store.richardfalken.com)) uses a standard non-fiction formatting for the paragraphs, but I think it is a bit dry. I'll have to experiment a bit.

    I also wonder if it is wise to set no fonts for the ebook and let each ereader use its default fonts. I am very KISS when it comes to formatting stuff but afaik current industry practice is to onclude custom fonts withing the epub file.

    Interesting. I thought that feature was specific to a device
    only. I still haven't seen my Kobo ereader anywhere. :( If I
    did, I could tell you what fonts my device offers when your book
    is loaded.

    Found it. I was actually looking for something else, and I came
    across the Kobo. Never seems to fail.

    Your sampler looks fine on the device. But I can only choose
    between Serif and Sans Serif.

    These show the font settings I have, and the results: (Sorry for
    the poor picture quality, but I operate in a dimly lit area.)

    If you can provide a file that claims to have other font
    settings, I am willing to show you the options that I have with
    the Kobo.
