Update 3

Version 0.3 done. See main page for download

UPDATE 2

I have opened a new thread in the EVE Fiction section of the forums.

I will keep that thread up to date as I add new content to the book. With some luck I should have the whole thing complete within a week or so.

ORIGINAL POST

I have started reading the Chronicles and so far think they are fantastic. Reading them on my computer isn't so great though.

I know I can get them in PDF but they are crap on the Kindle. Would anyone be interested if I converted all the Chronicles into mobi/epub with cover art and correct formatting?

I quickly knocked up the first one as an example in mobi. I will incorporate the art work into a cover with the right dimensions if anyone is interested.

Would you want them as individual books or as compilations of stories?

I am happy to spend a little more time on getting all the info right for everyone if there is a demand. If not I will just do it for myself with correct formatting but no bells and whistles.

I'd prefer them as collections of stories. I do almost all of my novel reading on my iphone and it'd be really annoying to sort through hundreds of small "books".

What Liang said and yes I would be very interested. One big book of short stories so to speak. Kindle user here, in the bathtub, every time.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. I will get cracking on this over the next few days. I will create a new thread in the Eve Fiction forum.

I just hope CCP won't mind. I wont be trying to make money/isk or anything from them. Its just something I want for myself and am happy to share.

OK Version 0.2 is done (I think)

This version includes all the Races Lore and all the Scientific Articles. I will keep adding extra content when I get time.

This is the first time I have tried to build an ebook, so if I have done something dumb please let me know.

mobi: http://www.2shared.com/file/XYvlew6G/EVE_Online__Lore_02_-_CCP.html


Known Issues:

No Images - Software is playing silly buggers. I will work it out and add art. (NOTE: Would you prefer me to focus on adding art or extra content?
Formatting/Size issues - I will fix as I find
Missing Content - I am sure I got all the race stuff and all the Scientific Articles but all the rest of the Lore is going to take time.
