RELEASE: Spice and Wolf Volume 1 Final Product

[barbsicle]

(NOTE: PDFs coming soon.)

It's a historical day, friends.

Today I proudly present the release of the eBook format of Spice and Wolf. In fact, it's the first final release of a fan-translated novel that is in eBook format.

The eBook has gone far from last year's first discovery and trials. Today it has much increased functionality and tuned to the present day from its 4 year old code, while retaining the basic functionality which has wowed me, and i hope will for you too.

In essence, the eBook is a breakthrough in release format, which I hope will expand itself to be used eventually in other series. I will continue to provide the eBooks for Spice and Wolf (my series, no other).

So I hope you will enjoy the eBook as much as I have enjoyed making it.

Awesome! Thanks to barbsicle and everyone who worked on this!

Would it be possible to put in keyboard shortcuts? Navigating via the arrow keys or the space bar would be really helpful. Congrats on the release!

[Muffinman]

Wait, did you use a program or did you code this? I would like to try to use this as a base for making other translated novels on the site into E-books

well i dont know about that. perhaps i will consider in volume 2. advanced features like these means i have to learn more code (which i am completely clueless about) so yeah. help from a flash expert would be nice too, in the future perhaps? haha.

Ya that would be wonderful if you could do that

[TheGiftedMonkey]

Glad to see it finally finished. I'll have to take a look at it asap. Awesome job Barb and company.

[Alkyra]

Would you be so kind to pm me that base code too?
I thought you're using uniflip to do this, but it seems i was wrong.

So where is the PDF? It is has been while since it was posted that they would be coming soon.

[Ohara]

Can you pm me that base code too?

By the way, is page 308 missing? It goes from 307 to 309 and it's missing one line somewhere

Spoiler! :

Not shifting her glance to Lawrence, she opened her mouth straight and said:

"I would not want to be chased to the North for an outstanding debt." << this line is missing

Lawrence found it hard not to laugh at her ignorant tone.

Nice job all!

Indeed, they worked hard to get this eBook done. I sent a PM to Barb so hopefully he'll stop by the forum again sometime and address any questions/issues anyone had.

[barbsicle]

and here i am. thanks tgm!

first-off, the pdf was not my duty actually, it was Krikit's (a.k.a seaghyn on the wiki). he's still around i should think.

the base code will be sent shortly Ohara.

it's already december, and i'm working on my part of the v2 translations, so i'm not sure where v1 will go. maybe when v2 is done and i have 4 volumes of final products to conjure magically (it still seems like a miracle to me) then i might think of redoing v1. it's not anything significant anyway so i guess whoever's waiting for this and that will just have to bear with me.

thanks again.

I thought the pdf went moot when BT incorperated the instant "to pdf" function on the site?
