Help Wanted - no pay
« on: December 10, 2003, 02:23:36 AM »
I want to place the book Holiday Forever, by Vladimir Lermontov, into AmigaGuide format.  Then I will place the entire book for download, free of charge, on my website at http://www.delfania.com

It will be free for anyone in the Amiga community to download.  The e-book price for PC users is $8.81 at lulu.com, erm, so I guess its an $8.81 value.

Whatever value it is, I have a google rank of 4, get a few hits to the site, and they will go hmmmm what is this AmigaGuide version that is free, when I have to buy the PC version.

It's just a little knod to the amiga community.
But according to WrongPla.net I'm a "PC Amigan" because I don't have an Amiga anymore, and I don't know when I'll get one.

If someone would like to take a PDF and convert it into AmigaGuide format... ah the heck with it, I'll send ya 5 dollars via paypal.

just let me know:  Robert@delfania.com

thanks,
Robert aka MarkTime

;-) As Opus opined, this looks like an easy way to get into serious trouble.

On the other hand, depending on how old the book is, it may or may not be copyrighted.  Homer's Oddessy should be copyright free, for example.  It's something you may want to look into before going any further.
