    I have been encouraged to write a book about my house. Not an easy thing for me to do as you all know how badly I write

    Available here : - https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=adventures+of+an+eco+builder&i=digital-text&crid=2WMODXAZ6Q9IX&sprefix=adventures+of+an+eco+builder%2Cdigital-text%2C112&ref=nb_sb_noss

    Brilliant. Pity it's only Kindle - I don't touch it.

    Yes, I was going to ask if there's a chance of a paper one - or even a PDF? Happy to pay , just really don't like reading off screens if I can help it.

    I was going to ask exactly the same thing! Much happier with something in print.

    Have you tried eg a kindle (paperwhite) - you're not alone in preferring paper, and kindle are striving to make the experience as akin to paper as possible; a kindle doesn't emit light..

    Just think of the environmental benefits of having your reading material on a kindle!

    I'm not so sure - energy cost of running extra servers, let alone a share of the rest of the system.

    Thanks Will!

    I think people can download kindle copy and print it yourself.

    I can get the book printed but it will turn out to too expensive to buy.

    I have been approached for the film rights. 🙂

    "There’s not an easy method to publish a Kindle formatted e-book. The plan of this format that those files use, in addition to the coating of DRM security Amazon, applies to protect its earnings, making it an obnoxiously complicated procedure for most folks when it’s possible in any way."

    https://pennbookcenter.com/can-you-print-kindle-books/

    "If you bought your Kindle ebook directly from Amazon, then there’s a layer of security added to keep you from distributing, modifying, or playing with it. The same is true of all borrowed Kindle titles coming from library collections. In such scenarios, you’re out of luck. There’s not any legal method of bypassing these protections to publish your articles."

    So who is playing the lead role then

    :bigsmile:

    Tony should play the star role himself, and do all the stunts!

    The page layout and font are very clear to read on a screen, even on a mobile phone. Clearer than GBF! It's laid out with only a few hundred words per page, its not like trying to read a typical printed book on screen with loads of tiny font.

    Amazon must have realised that lots of authors can self publish books in this format for £3 (for Tony's lifetime wisdom - what a bargain!) which would never be possible in paper. You can get a large sample for free from Amazon, try it out and see, recommended. (But do pay up afterwards!)

    Purchased.. on kindle.. to be told it doesn't work on my device.. a kindle. So reading will have to wait until I feel like sitting infront of my desktop PC for a few hours.

    Congratulations Tony, as someone that has helped me quite a bit on this forum over the last few years with my renovation I'm sure this book will help many others too.

    Apologies about the Kindle problems, it on the edge of my comfort zone. I read it using a free Kindle app on my i-pad.

    Thanks Paul for your kind words.
