No pdf format available?

No PDF at the moment - do people still read PDFs, though? The Kindle applet and other similar applications are available to pretty much every platform.

The problem with PDFs is that you would have to know the size of the reader's screen; whether to design the layout for a regular A4/Letter or something more fitting for a smaller 7" or 10" display...

The vast majority of my ebooks are PDFs. I read PDFs formatted all kinds of ways on my ebook reader (not a kindle, btw). I just resize according to need.. I'd assume most readers have the same ability.

Most readers are not very good at PDF reflow. The notable exception according to some tests that I've read is the Pocketbook Touch Lux.

Heck.. mine doesn't even try to reflow.. but rotate the display sideways, set zoom to 'fit width' and it's good to go. Takes about 3 'scroll down's per page, but at least it's easy to read.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, Castor in particular...

I also enjoy your description of the ship to ship combat as well as your writing style - fairly fast paced without dwelling on unnecessary plot details.

I highly recommend reading these - great work Wolfwood

Wolfwood, xzanfr - do you (or anybody else) have any of this fiction? The old website has been taken down and I can't find anything anywhere! Just dead links.

Hi Cholmondely
I'm late to the party as ever!
Did you have any joy finding these? I've just looked and they appear to still be on my kindle so might be able to get them off, assuming there aren't any issues with the author.

No joy whatsoever - and I do want to read them (and don't see why others shouldn't either!).

I've found books 1-4 as mobi's if these are any good for you.
I can't upload as attachments to the forum, so drop me a pm if there is some other way I can get them to you.
