Fixed Metadata, Yis!

Finally all of the Dreamhealers books are showing up as being part of the same series on Amazon. I'm so glad they fixed this. <3

Fixed Metadata, Yis!

Comments

I'm planning a Kickstarter for the print edition, probably at the end of the year. :)

Yay for new Dreamhealer's book! Though it would be nice if it was in print format (I have issues of digital screens giving me a headache) but I'm still kinda happy that there is a new book out of my favourite characters.

Fixed Metadata = Sold another book. I didn't realize there was a short story in the series! I'm also excited about book 3.

It ended more than a year ago. It was at the $$$$ level get a character into the story.

Godel Fishbreath

What kickstarter? I didn't see any links. --filkferengi

Ah! character encoding fixed, is that metadata that you meant as well?

Godel Fishbreath

No, I know what I'm doing. This is a bizarre problem and it's on the distributor's end, not mine.

M.C.A. Hogarth

So she should encode it at her end?? I do not think she would have that skill, though I could be very wrong.

Godel Fishbreath

Just checked out that Kickstarter. Awesome. And much too late. I would not have had the money anyway.

Godel Fishbreath

Yes, I have never had a problem with any of your other books on Kobo! O.o

Sandstone

Yes, as I said above I suspected it was an encoding problem of some kind (I'm a programmer myself and have dealt with issues similar to that :) Unfortunately, the Kobo app does not allow you to change encoding of its internal HTML rendering software that is used to display EPUBs!

No, this is great! I have literally never had this problem before with these folks, and I just found out about it when Apple rejected it. o_O I've got a case open with them now so they can find out why this particular book failed when the other 30+ were fine... o_O

M.C.A. Hogarth

Thank you! Apologies if this wasnt the proper venue to bring it up, but I couldn't fit it into Twitter character limits ^^;

Sandstone

Happy to see this as it makes it easier to follow along! Unfortunately, I wanted to mention that I picked up Dreamhearth from Kobo today and there appears to be some sort of formatting/text encoding problem, the apostrophes show up as ’ throughout :( Is there any way this can be fixed? I am using the Kobo app for iOS, haven't tried it on my eink Kobo yet so I'm not sure if it's a problem there as well (apologies for submitting unfinished comment a minute ago!)

Sandstone

Yes, I just discovered this and am talking with the distributor now about why that happened. My copy's clean, so something happened on their end.
