Print-on-demand and then send out books for a very small initial fee. He is

Personally speaking, whilst I love Kindle books for anything thatâs going to
be read just once - immediate and easy to store - for any type of reference
book or one with instructions etc I strongly prefer the printed version, so
much easier to flip from page to page to find whatever it is you
Would we really want to do this, however, considering we have some excellent
bobbin turners who would likely be put out of work by such a move? Technology

There are even further possibilities today. Instead of just stopping to have
their books printed, the authors could make those volumes public domain and

Hi,
As a native Israeli, who grew up on the Hebrew language and is using it
daily, I right away checked on the OIDFA translations from English into
Hebrew.
I have studied graduated in translating so I guess I still can say
something in this respect.
Many of the words I found are old fashioned
I bought the cook / Scott laces stitches for the kindle on iPad to use when
teaching so I could keep my copy at home.
It does the job but the kindle does not render the page the same way as the

My 7 year old just finished her first piece of lace and is very excited.
She asked for a puppy to be her next pattern and I want to keep the

Thank you,
Dagmar
