app to a PC, iPad, tablet, etc. and reading it through the app. Due to the formatting issues I was having because of all the photographs and graphics in the book, I went with the "Print Replica" format. What that means is if all you have to read my eBook on is a small-screen phone, I suggest you go for the paperback version because my eBook is not in the "reflowable" format (i.e. you cannot adjust the font size and it doesn't "flow"). That said, the eBook apparently views fine on most iPads, notebooks, and mobile devices with decent sized screens.<br /></p><p>I should also mention that - due to all the photographs and graphics it contains - my eBook is a relatively large file (~46 MB) as compared to most e-Books (typically just a a couple MBs). As a result, my eBook costs considerably more than most since AMZN charges based on how much bandwidth their servers require to stream the eBook to devices.<br /></p><div dir="ltr">If you do happen to read the book, please leave feedback on the Amazon site or email me directly at dry_fly_junkie@hotmail.com. </div><div dir="ltr"> </div><div dir="ltr">If you like the book, please tell your friends - thanks!</div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr">Mike<br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><div dir="ltr"><br /></div><br />the_fitzmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02884927066584118679noreply@blogger.com0
