Mobipocket tends to make a copy of the books and put it someplace else. Quite annoying at times. This is for the Windows reader version.

I think my stalwart .LIT and .EPUB conversion crew may be too busy, or feel they've had enough, from the first two books. Does anyone want to try their hand at converting The Infinite Sea to either of those formats?

I am encouraging people to pass these books around. And when manybooks.net asked permission to post them, I said yes. But I have a problem with their being posted with the implication that they are in the public domain. They most assuredly are not. Am I misunderstanding? |

I think Hadrien should edit this to state that the books are either in the public domain, or have a copyright that allows copying, or permission to copy has been granted by the author. That last case would be what your ebook would fall under. BOb |

I just downloaded the epub version from feedbooks and looked at it. The copyright page has been DELETED. So far as I can tell, it is being represented as being in the public domain.
Is this how authors are treated on feedbooks? |

(Edited here) As I have since learned, that was a mistake, which has been rectified. Sorry for snapping. I should have given him a chance to check and respond. Last edited by starrigger; 10-01-2008 at 05:20 PM. Reason: Intemperate remark removed |

I'm sorry that I didn't noticed that the copyright page was missing, I'll put all of your books back into edit mode and correct everything asap. Edit: From what I can see, it's only missing on volume three. |

However, if by the above you mean that the book's main display page states that the book is copyrighted, I really don't see it. Are you referring to the copyright symbol and the word "status"? That does not, to me, say that the book is copyrighted. It looks like a boilerplate label for which nothing is filled in--suggesting, if anything, that the book is NOT in copyright. Or that the status is unknown. You might want to revisit your design of how that information is presented. And you really need to change the terms of use which now state that all books on the site are in the public domain. I checked your epub version of Neptune Crossing, and found that it does have the copyright page. However, it was from my earliest posting, and is missing the cover artist credit. In fact, it is probably a flawed version in terms of the text, since I only last week managed to get a fully corrected version up. You have my permission to repost my free downloads, provided that the copyright status is clear, and that the text, including copyright page, is unaltered. Thanks. |

Concerning the copyright status message it is indeed a generic message right under the logo: Quote:
I haven't finished the support for CC licenses yet (in Doctorow's case), and for the moment they're only included in the book because I plan on implementing a real support with RDFa embedded in the page, and the license included in the DublinCore metadata of the files. Honestly, I don't think that anyone else will go that far concerning CC licenses in e-books... As for the missing copyright page, I honestly believe that it is a mistake from the user who uploaded the book and will correct this immediately. |

I was gonna post that Hadrien is a good guy and it is probably an honest mistake. I understand you being upset though I do think you should have waited for a response before assuming malice.
Anyway, I no longer have to post the above because Hadrien has already responded. BOb |

And again, if you could take the current version of Neptune Crossing from my site, that would give your readers the correct text. Thanks. |

In this case, I'm not the one who uploaded the text: I've been far too busy working on updating the publishing feature. My goal is to create something easy enough for any author to use, and avoid the exact situation that you're in, where you have to spend a large ammount of time to get your books in all the different formats available. When the user submitted the text, I noticed that it included the correct source and included the last page where you mention the PayPal donation, but didn't noticed that the first page was missing. Anyway it's fixed now, and your books are available for all sorts of devices this way, including non-dedicated devices like the iPhone (http://www.feedbooks.com/help/iphone). |
