robertogrecoYesterday my colleague called me a ‘book murderer’ because I cut long books in half to make them more portable. Does anyone else do this? Is it just me? [image of three books, Infinite Jest, Middlesex, and Dostoyevsky (bio?), each separated into two.
this is why, as am getting ready to shop book proposals, am absolutely clear my biggest negotiating challenge will be the digital rights to my books.
my web dev skills COMPLETELY changed the way i write and think of writing. when i built the publishing front-end of my blogs…
i did so inspired mainly by many of the tactics of the avant gardes, especially CONSTRUCTIVISM.
because i see typography as an art form and art objects that can bring a different “something” to your writing ―not just in conventional syntaxes. think of e. e. cummings…
THING1 is reading “House of Leaves” by Mark Z. Danielewski and am looking forward to reading myself, exactly because of what he does with typography and page design.
but would love to see how they succeeded or failed to translate the page design to EPUB/MOBI in particular… [image of open pages from House of Leaves]
BECAUSE YOU LAZILY CAN’T. most publisher just process the DOCX file to EPUB and don’t even have the decency to add a basic style-directive (CSS file) to it.
for Danielewski’s book, if you’re not going to use Javascript, then you’ll need to use robust CSS3 and…
Responsive Design tactics to make it a proper EPUB/MOBI version of the book.
but that would mean, it’s only a translation ―and since that’s core to the plot, then that EPUB should be an opportunity to exapand the story, not just copy it.
with a PDF though…
you have 2 options:
an IMAGE copy of the paper pages
or
an INTERACTIVE ⁺ REFLOWABLE version
so we have 5 ways of getting the same book ported:
1. text dump (EPUB/MOBI)
2. image dump (PDF)
3. CSS3 ⁺ Responsive (EPUB)
4. Javascript ⁺ CSS3 (EPUB)
5. IA/Reflowable PDF
…
anybody who has read RAYUELA (Hopscotch) by Julio Cortázar, will see la mar de posibilidades that we have for going beyond the lazy conventions of treating EPUB & PDF as just copies of a paper book.
this is why the DMCAA has been devastating…
claiming a new publishing copyright for just transposing across formats is criminal.
you should have something else, even if it is technically the same book or song.
because each format, each medium, has it’s own set of challenges. just copying, as in transposing, isn’t it…
so, if you are a writer, it would behoove you to learn about the principles of web development ―because all EPUBS are, basically, websites made portable with a ZIP file (EPUB/MOBI are zip files).
notice i do not mention AZW3. they’re proprietary EPUBs ―and tbh a waste of time…
all this to say:
you wouldn’t butcher books if you had an EPUB version on your phone or a tablet. even a PDF image dump is preferable.
am weeding my book collection.
with ⁺50 yrs of books, i’ve noticed they’re not only works of art but cherished memory capsules.
