Here&#8217;s the fist little bit: I often receive queries like: I am converting the Word file of my book to a PDF (a bit later in epub).

		<description><![CDATA[EPUB, not just PDF, can be a path to visually rich books. Contrary to misunderstandings, for example, the IDPF’s format standard for e-books does support inline charts and graphs well. In particular, EPUB supports SVG which is, not coincidentally, a very close analog to PDF page contents. So anything one can represent on a PDF [...]]]></description>

Stephen Walkwalker, one of our newest contributors, has written Say My Name, a thriller about a Boston newspaper guy framed for financial and sexual sins. Steve’s book starts far too slowly.
