I do have an <a href="http://www.3millionyears.co.uk/" target="_blank">affinity </a>for digital versions of comics and media so I had a look at the digital version of Custard.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeTBjdqAukz8yylMczXSS1Yyu2heGX24PKT9LTIG5xCNvMVxwHi0jeuAs0gExawbWCNlJb0wSm-PtGXrhtazi50YYpEqTHBrLEFgfy554Khhj-oMu1fUt6ANjsJDYjdmS08O5AH7UZzk/s1600/KDP-Amazon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="210" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyeTBjdqAukz8yylMczXSS1Yyu2heGX24PKT9LTIG5xCNvMVxwHi0jeuAs0gExawbWCNlJb0wSm-PtGXrhtazi50YYpEqTHBrLEFgfy554Khhj-oMu1fUt6ANjsJDYjdmS08O5AH7UZzk/s1600/KDP-Amazon.jpg" /></a></div> Hopefully I will do a PDF version of the Zine, but I wanted to see how publishing it on an 'official format would go, so off to Amazon Kindle I went.<br /> Amazon have a Kindle publishing service call <a href="https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/" target="_blank">Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing</a>. After some trial and error, I managed to get the files uploaded. Luckily ClipStudio (where I put the Zine together) has the software built in to turn it into Kindle Format. On top of that, you can download previewer software which allows you to see what it will look like on Kindle, or the Kindle apps.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkGvomDOJhZgh0dQnstb2uqdKseo-FFQ8FfjyRJvS5JL9TZRm5bNGyNks_7EkU8GLfC8p11jwaSk6C-Y03Avwin4q6cpl4INxVZkRVJiqBZpWX4-XHesg_Sy9N-WwPIU2-ESrd-eswlQ/s1600/IMG_20200112_212105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="937" data-original-width="703" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWkGvomDOJhZgh0dQnstb2uqdKseo-FFQ8FfjyRJvS5JL9TZRm5bNGyNks_7EkU8GLfC8p11jwaSk6C-Y03Avwin4q6cpl4INxVZkRVJiqBZpWX4-XHesg_Sy9N-WwPIU2-ESrd-eswlQ/s320/IMG_20200112_212105.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> <br /> So, it's all updated and now we wait....Michael Nimmohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09423471927580005152noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484255148770505045.post-16263886064184056212020-01-17T13:17:00.000+00:002020-01-17T13:17:13.184+00:00The content is all done, with everything in place.
