Hi Helen,
Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it's in need of a lot more in terms of both words and pictures - I released it as it is just to get it out of the gate, and get some early feedback.
I hope to add screenshots and more text in the coming days.
Hi HN,
I've just released ChapterMill and I'd love to know what you think.
I've noticed that a lot of authors struggle when it comes to formatting their ebooks - embedding fonts, setting font sizes, margins, floating images, etc. Makes sense: they're writers, not coders. So ChapterMill is my attempt to create a tool that allows them to build their book and style it using a simple UI for great-looking books.
This is a MVP - there are lots of features I plan to add (image replacement so that embedded fonts display on Kindle e-ink devices, public author pages, many more styling options, etc etc). It also needs help pages, instructions and FAQs, but hopefully the site is quite self-explanatory for now.
I haven't put a payment system in yet (coming later today) but the idea is to charge a fee when the author is happy with his book and wants to download the EPUB or MOBI file to distribute elsewhere.
Please let me know what you think!
I started www.sunscanner.co.uk last year. Thought it was a novel and useful way to search for vacations.
And I think it made all of £7 in commissions since then :-(
open.dapper.net is pretty good for this.
Ah, no - it seems to have a monthly subscription if you want an inbound number, about $15.
I've used interfax.net for years - to send faxes, I don't receive them. I wouldn't be surprised if you can receive faxes too, though.
It's always been a great service, and no ongoing fees - I just pay a few cents every time I send a fax.
Pretty old-school site, but it has a SOAP API that works. Hope that helps.
