Heya¡my very first comment on your site. ,I have been reading your blog for a while and thought I would completely pop in and drop a friendly note. . It is great stuff indeed. I also wanted to ask..is there a way to subscribe to your site via email?
The tool is indeed great. I will be give it a try. But my previous experience of using Converters available on internet has been not so pleasant reason being the formatting issues I had to face. I then I then learnt about an epubconversion site. When contacted them, they made my task simpler. http://www.epubconversion.com/ePub-validator-iBook.jsp. This site not only converted my work but also validated it, which is one of the most important part in publishing the epub files, especially for the Apple’s ipad. It might be helpful in getting your ePub files converted and validated.
Good Tips. Thank you.
