ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

If I think about the old nickname what is the real name is and in non english-speaking parts of the world it normal name. I'm doomed for life bekause of some idiot who translated it. (in english-speaking parts of the world)

I started a topic about review about hard-/software for reading ePUBs and more.

>>>ePUB Hard-/Software Reviews<<<

To all PDF/EPUB/MOBI makers:
You might want to add a little watermark or add another page to your files staying:

"This translation is a free provided by www.Baka-Tsuki.org : not for sale, rent, or auction"

in your next update. It is true that some people would actually sell your work without you noticing. Plus B-T has a "Baka-Tsuki Public Outreach Program!" here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4490 where they are trying to increase awareness of B-T. (since some forums link the pdf's without the person being aware of where it came from).

Thank you for the info. I will insert it in the ePUBs that I make. I have already made baka-tsuki a publisher in the ePUB, but will insert it as a new site.

Today I was designing credits page for The World God Only Knows LN vol.1 mainly to allow readers to know who translates the novel they are reading (and giving translators the proper credits), also added a link to the project's wiki page. I planned to add credits page to SAO too but not all other series I already did (especially 33 volumes of Toaru Majutsu no Index).

Then I read lp113's post.

This might force me to redo all those PDFs as well, to allow BT to be more recognised thus might bring translators to the project I want to see continue like monogatari series (I heard it's too hard to translate).

For the selling of free stuffs, I personally think no matter what we did, we can't stop it. The credits page can be removed off the PDF with the proper software anyway. It's like once we let our stuff post on the internet, we no longer have any control over it anymore.

May be like that.

Still waiting for a reply from gto and hobogunner.

I'm gonna be fast cuz I'm in class

I agree to the idea and will do it in due time but about the selling we can somehow prevent it by locking the PDFs so they can't print it

Here too. Will look what can I do with ePUBs.

But what about legit reader who downloaded PDF but cannot read the tablet screen for extend period of time, thus need to print it ? I'm sure many people cannot stare at computer screen for long, my dad included, that's why e-ink screen of Kindle is so great.

This is only my opinion, please do not offend by it. I do think if we put too much restrictions it'll only turn people away.
Baka-tsuki is non-profit community founded by people who loves light novels and want to let more people know about those wonderful series. It is sure to have a few bad people in every community, in our case, people who makes money off the work which others do without asking anything in return. But if we put too much restrictions on how we distributing stuffs it might defeats the purpose of introducing Light Novels to the mass, and also might hurt legit readers who are majority. Those minority leechers can always find a way around the restrictions no matter what we do anyway.

Will look for the best way. Most likely the problem is PDF. ePUB is more for reader. By teh way I have A PRS-T1, these thing are great .

I've updated SAO vol.1-4 & 6 with credits page, also updated the content with latest edits/fixes from wiki.
Links at the first post of this thread should be updated by carj soon, but in the meantime please get the updated files directly from my MediaFire folder here [link removed]

updated =P

and well....yea you're right about the print lock, i originally started doing the PDF cuz a friend wanted to print to read, and i did not like reading in the browser........well i'll try to think of something else xD might come up with something better

thanks for noting that

Just spent about 2+ hours to get rid of the scaling problem on PRS-T1 and the reading software. But no chances for now.
My PROBLEm: Gone throught the full course of CSS with this thing.
There are two possibilities: I think I let them be big and create some white spaces until I find the answer.

I personally like full page pictures, Since that was how it was in the original novel wasn't it?

The point is. Its always better to have it fullscreen how it was originaly but on other side it makes big white spaces in the dokument while reading and and and ... duno. And on other its better to heve it on the right/left side so you can see the picture and the text to the picture. It's more like a personal problem. So when Imanage to do it i will post another Version allong side the normal. There also must be done ones for iBooks. iBooks is a tricky one and have problems with CSS.

Mfg, Simon.
