Doug - thanks for all you do. Your ebook design makes my writing come alive. David
Just a note of thanks, as this will come off random to you I am sure.
I just did my first series of ebooks with inspiration from you!
As an example of what to do, my husband sent me a link (who wrote the books) sent me to David Merrman Scott’s books. Here is a link to the books I created you can download for free: http://www.threehourbusiness.com/ebooks/
Your books are fresh, clean and the typography is well crafted and fun and has all the DM best practices.
As a fellow designer and new to ebook designer it was helpful to see what you had created and loved on your website how they are displayed.
If you have some time a few questions came up in the process:
1. Any advice on book size? Been trying to keep mine at 1 MB or slightly bigger.
2. What dpi do you use 300dpi or less?
3. Any advice as to how to best to show ebooks on a website?
example: PDF download? Small jpdg of cover only or a cover and page?
