Even More Awesome (why, oh why, can't I be more articulate?)

EVERYONE IS DOING PDFs FOR THEIR BIGBANGS!

OK, not everyone, but lots of people - and others are pitching in to make PDFs for those who don't have time to do it themselves!  And I think I might need to get myself a Mediafire account or something because I LOVE THIS!

I LOVE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING!

Now, if only the artists could all be persuaded to make default ebook covers, everything would be perfect.

I still would like to find some way to get a tutorial from my fav PDFers like too_rational  and the saucyminxfix  on how they get their PDFs to keep the same font in Calibre.  Mine always convert to Times-Roman - I hate Times-Roman.
To keep the conversion from churning out a bunch of missing characters (a l, sma l, tota ly, or fne, frm, and ftfu ly) I always have to set OpenOffice to Verdana, which doesn't give me a lot of leeway with the look of the file.  Maybe because I don't care about chapter headings or a table of contents? Eh.


But in other news, poor_choices  has once again created wonderful fic!  This time it's a sideways, affectionate J2 take on Asimov's I, Robot called Look What They Made.   Heart warming, bantering scifi is to love!

Just popped over to say ta for PDF'ing jennylynneh's BB fic and read your post above - hee! I've created some of these myself this year (if a fic looks good sometimes I get impatient waiting to see if someone else will crack and do one for me).
I don't know if Mac's are different but when I create my documents I change the font to candara (no real reason other than I like it) and then just save the word document as PDF and it seems to retain the fonts and any artworks ok. It also seems to work well on my kindle.

Thanks for the fic rec - I just finished reading sandymg's JRobot (her BB) which was gorgeous, moving and yet happy-making - so I'm interested in this one and I had already made a PDF of it to read later!
