  1. I say too often, "Thank goodness iBooks is only a fraction of the market." My favorite and least favorite, all in one. #eprdctn
  2. @peter_hatch That's awesome! We sure appreciate it! #eprdctn
  3. @aarontroia Oh no! LOL! Must be very careful to talk nicely around the eBooks, or bugs may explode. #eprdctn
  4. @lizcastro Hah! Yes, I think we need a new tool for writers and editors that fits print and eBook workflow better. #eprdctn
  5. @studiowalrus Doesn't work, but if it did, it would look bad when reader resizes font and it falls in middle of page. #eprdctn
  6. @rcgordon I think the fault is in my Twitter-length. iBooks doing good thing, kicking it to next page; they just kick it wrong. #eprdctn
  7. @studiowalrus Floating image w/mid-para pagebreak in flowable text: even if m-top worked, it'd break when reader changed font size. #eprdctn
  8. @aarontroia Ooh, yeah! Problem, though, is that it comes and goes between images as user changes text-size, ROFL. #eprdctn
  9. @aarontroia Ugh! Have you ever found a fix? I get twitches. And this book is so polished, aside from this! #eprdctn
  10. /I should just schedule in 1-2 hours a day of trying to fix unfixable stuff. It's so much fun. Pays super well, too./ #eprdctn
  11. @libraryhead Tried on div, tried on img and @lizcastro 's magic inline-block for the heck of it, tried everything. #eprdctn
  12. Normal spot: ow.ly/i/FLlt After adjustment due to font-size-induced page break: ow.ly/i/FLm7 Help? #eprdctn
  13. Bug? Float right images, if iBooks auto-adjusts down para due to page break, overlap text above. Any fix? m- & p-top don't work. #eprdctn
  14. I bought Double Stuf Oreos and it's all going well now. :-) Also, huge thanks to @LauraB7 !! #ePrdctn
  15. Epic. Fail. *cries* #eprdctn
  16. Why does the sample have media type "application/x-font-otf" for a ttf font? Is that a mistake? Or a change I should make? #eprdctn
  17. I feel like an awkward, gangly teenager doing KF8, tiptoeing on the edge of HTML5, jumping in sometimes, jumping out others. #eprdctn
  18. I wonder why the KF8 children's book sample doesn't use "figure" for figures. It's supposed to be HTML5, right? #eprdctn
  19. @eBookNoir OMG!!! How long did that take you to do?! #ePrdctn
  20. @laurab7 Hey, did the fonts bow to their mistress today? #eprdctn ;-)
