Hello YC Crowd.

Mindmaps are a note taking method that envisions information visually and attempts to instead "draw" a story instead of force feeding readers with a pre-set and rigid sequence that is a block of text . This design form is a great learning aid and is used in some medical schools by students to assimilate course material and make it reference-able.

Each page is meant to describe an individual concept but all merge into an individual story, flow and narrative, which is in this case today, a perspective that every new startuper must take up inorder to "win" at this business of building and making of a new digital world.

While this book is targeted for everyone who comes to this parts (i would call them digital pyramid-makers), those who "get it" will have some artistic sensibilities to fully appreciate the marriage of message and design that is this report.

Hello everyone, i appreciate the great solution that this is but i have a similar problem that could be solved by this solution but has not been solved.

My problem is that i want to publish a series of JPEG images as a Kindle book, but i can't, since the reader slices some of my images and puts padding around them. I would prefer that the images render like the cover page, in full screen, but this is impossible to achieve despite saving the images in 600 * 800 like the cover page.

How can i use this great wisdom to create an .epub file that then becomes a Kindle book.

PS; The scans are a business book that is made up entirely of mindmaps, which are like spatial roadmaps on paper. The book has been written to teach newbies in business the most important things and all the trade-offs involved in this important things.

I think that that sort of thing would do very well on the Kindle platform but i am unable to do it.
