Episode 37 – Amazon Publishing

Feedback:

• Tom Semple: apparently we said the new Nook was not Android, but it is. (Joshua: my bad, I was postulating a theory without research. You can root the new Nook, too..)
• Jane: We talk over each other. Yeah, it’s a problem in the office, too.
• Zls Publishing (via Facebook) “…the problem with the articles panel is that you can’t use it in the Book Feature. You have to create the article chapter by chapter. That sucks! I want to be able to use the articles panel once I’ve put all the chapter together into one book!” (and he uses ecub)
