Please download the 200-page sample of <i>The Proviso</i>, and then <a href="http://b10mediaworx.com/peculiarpages/" rel="nofollow">go here and download</a> the different formats of "Plain and Precious Part of The Fob Bible" if you would like to see a sample of what they all look like. Please, please, please contact me via email if you want any help or answers or any help whatsoever. I will be more than happy to help anybody in LDS publishing who wants to go in this direction. Also, the shopping cart doesn't have to be expensive. Karlene, I format my books myself.

I'm a former LDS publisher and I read your blog. (I do skip the curse words, though.) I owned Rosehaven. After five years of incredible growth, we crashed and burned at the end of 2006. Why? DB didn't pick up our last couple of titles. We ended up with too much in print and not enough paths to the market. For the past year and a half, I've been trying to figure out how to get back into the publishing business without the high risk of print inventory. I've been recently thinking of the e-book trend. I have a Kindle and I LOVE it. And I've tried to buy LDS books for my Kindle and very few exist in that format. I always click that "Tell the publisher..." button on Amazon, but I don't know if it actually does anything. Anyway, the point of this is that Rosehaven is going to be re-opening this fall (I think) specializing in creating and selling various e-file versions of LDS books. Now I'm sure there will be many publishers who won't cooperate--especially the big ones--but there are quite a few authors with rights to their older books and I'll be approaching them with this possibility first. So, I think you're right on track here. Hi. I’m a former LDS publisher and I read your blog. (I do skip the curse words, though.) I owned Rosehaven.

Now that my eyes are shot, I have a 17" laptop screen so I love the big print and the fact that I can sit up and read after my husband goes to bed. Chaeya I loooove e-books.
