If you have problems with this ePUB please post them here. Thanks.
Hey- thanks much for this - this is awesome :)

I took a look at it using Adobe Digital Editions (since that's prob the most official, tho prob not most popular reader). Didn't get a chance via iTunes/iBooks.

Two minor bugs (I wouldn't call them problems, really):
1.You have the diamonds in the TOC correctly displayed, but in the text body itself, they show up as ???
2.EEE did a lot of careful font variation (esp in the screenplay areas) - afaik, I think you made it almost all one standard font?

Also, no rush on the other volumes - they're still actively being edited by various ppl including yyr, myself, LB_Kasen, etc...

1. Yeah , I know this. I did let them be there because I can't find a better replacement for them in ASCII and it's up to a reader how it reads the files. I make most things ASCII friendly but as I said, can't really find a replacement. So it will stay there. You can look at it with calibre or other things and you will see that the text is being parsed with utf-8 settings.

2. Same as 1. It's up to the reader how it handles the text. The CSS is ok and it has the right fonts and sizes... I checked it, really.

And about the edits. For me it's 3 min to edit the ePUB. So just throw a message in this post when there is a big edit or you think that this is a stable version for some time.

Apologies.

re: 1 and 2:

Yeah, I just took a look at it w/Calibre 0.8.38 - you're totally correct. Yet again, open source > adobe, I guess...I guess I should be less shocked by now...

Clarification: Simon was totally right (afaik) and I was wrong (well, not wrong about Adobe Digital Editions being sucky in not parsing/displaying properly :D ... wrong about assuming that you didn't do a full-on job - sorry!).

In Calibre:

1.The symbols show up properly.
2.The various fonts/screenplay tweaks show up as well.

Will let you know when major edits have been completed on the others

Because I couldn't wait:

ePUB:

mobi:

All generated September 7th, 2012.

Disclaimer: These aren't nearly as polished as Simon's ebooks. I built them for myself because I hate reading PDFs on my Kindle, and figured I might as well share. I've only checked them in Sigil, Calibre, and a Kindle 3 as those are all I have.
I'm still reading volume 1 so I can't guarantee there aren't massive errors in later volumes, but I'll update the linked files if I do find any errors while I'm reading.

Simon: Thank you for all the epubs/mobis you've built for other series. I'm not trying to steal your thunder or anything, but judging by your sig and userpage (and this thread itself), this LN wasn't getting any epub love anytime soon

It's only MOBIs but I left Volumes 1-4 here. As I made them a while ago I'll have to update them some time I guess. (Not trying to steal anyones' thunder either!)

Ha. Guess I should have done a real search instead of just assuming they'd be linked in here if they existed. Whoops.
At least now I've got the framework laid out and can more easily build ebooks if I ever need to again.

Hello!

I saw on some other post that all the other PDF links other that volume 1 were dead, and since I'm going to be reading and making PDFs for this novel anyways, I decided that I'd post it onto Baka-tsuki forums!

Volume 1
https://katdon.wordpress.com/2015/02/27 ... -volume-1/

Volume 2
https://katdon.wordpress.com/2015/03/16 ... me-2-pdfs/

Volume 3
https://katdon.wordpress.com/2015/03/18 ... me-3-pdfs/

Volume 4
https://katdon.wordpress.com/2015/03/22 ... me-4-pdfs/


I tried to make improvements on the formatting over the previous PDFs available on Baka-tsuki, and also will make edits if I ever see any errors while I read it. I started making PDFs quite a while ago, and will continue to add to this post when I can. Sadly I have some exams next week so I won't be able to get all of them out by the end of the weekend.
Also, I personally think that my chapter titles are a bit bland as of now, but the only application i'm using is Microsoft word So i'm doing the best I can. If anybody would like to suggest any improvements. Though I may have to consider the overall practicality before adding them, but I will try my best to respond.
I will edit this post to add more links when they are available.

Thank you to all the translator's who translate novels on this site

Thank you very much
Hobohutter

edit 1: Finally got around to doing volume 2 after finishing my exams and editing volume 1. If you've downloaded volume 1 before, you can always download it again since I have made some edits.

edit 2: Added Volume 3 and completely finished editing volume 2.

edit 3: Added Volume 4 and completed finished editing volume 3 (not entirely, if you see anything you want changed please leave a comment on the blog)

edit 4: Added Volume 5 and 6 completely edited.
