Re: [tw] TW5 eBook pre-release of "Spiritual Quest" - free copy.

[John Newell]

Thanks for your kind words
It is good to hear from a TW fan that its values lie beyond just being a
"cool wiki"

We have seen the presentation versions like TalkyTalky and other confined
uses, but I am a massive advocate for its future as an eBook platform as on
of its most impressive derivations.

There are several new projects in process  right now, that will be ready
for release from October onwards. The direct enquiries for a HowTo book
have been quite amazing - so I am preparing that now and hope to have ready
in the coming week.

I'll let you - and all others who have emailed me - know when and where to
get that TWEbook.


All the best

[tw] TW5 eBook pre-release of "Spiritual Quest" - free copy.

[John Newell]

Hello to the wider tiddlywiki community - and thanks to the many who have 
helped in various ways.
The EPUB version is now selling and the TW5 version will be hot on its 
heels after a get a few "kinks" ironed out

In the meantime - here's TW version - https://payhip.com/b/JLBv
and the ePUB version for comparison - http://bit.ly/SQebook 

The content is "almost" exactly the same - but the delivery, navigation ( & 
navigability ) , imagery, readaibility, tag links etc create a very 
different reading experience
( and that audio plays WITHIN the TW version )
- need to be internet connected for that to be active.

Feedback welcome

cheers and thanks - John Newell ( on behalf of my beautiful wife, the 
author - Sandy Lee )
