And what is your favorite format? For me its never simple: Mostly on my android phone using: Cool Reader - ugly but will read a standard epub aloud Kindle App - far too many books locked behind the Amazon wall Barnes & Noble App - clean, easy, imports epubs I prefer epub for general reading, PDF for picture books, magazines, manuals And for comics I use perfect reader for cbz,cbr formats On my very old iPad mini almost always apples books and epubs And on my Windows tablet ( because I couldn't afford a new android tablet and this one was CHEAP) Kindle app, perfect reader, sublime text, and foxit PDF reader And yes there are a half a dozen very old actual Kindles running around the house. I read on two of them. My version do star Trek PADDs. Yeah I know I'm complicated ...and I have an idea..... But I need some answers. What apps do you like ? Where do you read Ebooks the most? What features would you like to see in an Ereader that you currently don't have? And even if you think you've guessed right, *just* another Ereader is NOT where I'm going with this. Remember my goal is to help you write the books AND sell more of them. Stay with me folks.

you joined for a reason? What are we not doing here to get you to join in on the conversation? Happy to have you keep watching, I just feel like I'm not helping you if I don't know what your needs are? Give a shout, ask a question, throw out an idea. I'm noodling on ideas to get people more involved and see what you need that I/we can provide.

Just a brief thought here. We are Writers. We build worlds. We create life. We MAKE the rules! We are GODS! on paper.

Brainstorming thoughts I had a request in feedback for a more general Brainstorming and ideas team and since I ma no longer working in a vacuum I thought I would toss this out here. What specialists would such a team need? I like to keep them to 5 or 6 and the Director is necessary to make the rest behave. but it you wanted a group of friends to discuss a story idea with who would they be and what kind of backgrounds should they have. This matters for context and quality. Give me some ideas I really like this as a Phase Zero. As was pointed out to me the story development team is great but they do push you to getting to the finish line so they can hand off to the character creators and the writers room. They're not very good at just freeform passing things back and forth. I was reminded of this post as well that I need to go back and ponder "Sit with me" https://www.skool.com/pws-community-for-writers-8447/happy-accidents?p=71613958 Research thoughts While I'm at it I'm also thinking of a pure research tab with essentially no prompt so you can do a quick internet search and add to your notes directly here. Sure you can go to perplexity, google, chatgpt, claude, etc.. and copy and paste the answers, but would it be helpful? Ideas This ties into the first.. instead of just starting with a series, maybe the first item is IDEAS... a place to store snippets, and quick notes (and this send my rabbit hole brain into maybe a browser extension you can pop up at any time to type in something quick and send directly to the ideas.....nah.. we have enough of those). Here me out! Ideas is a place to drop in a single file idea for all of those snippets and scenes you have hiding on your hard drive. Just putting them in here is a memory cue that they exist. Quick and dirty, they would be a binder style list (still thinking UI/UX/Interface here) that when you clicked on would open a modal window in front of everything that you could edit in , copy and paste in, come back and read. might even add the transcribe microphone to this and a "USE" button that would open a book and add it as a file to start working with. Not sure about this one exactly.. still percolating.
