Rand McNally, the well-known atlas company, has released three atlases for the Kindle: Washington State, Southern California, and Northern California. I was pleased to help in the design and implementation of these great books, and I think they exemplify the possibilities that are available on the Kindle for those with the courage and know-how to pursue them. Here is a screenshot from the Washington State Road Atlas:
I forgot to mention this in my post yesterday, but I am going to be on the Kindle Chronicles podcast this Friday. Len Edgerly is a great guy, and his Kindle podcast is a real benefit to the community. If you have never listened before, take a look through the archives and see the great people he has interviewed already. Then make sure to listen to the podcast Friday!
Sorry for the continued silence here at KindleFormatting.com. I have been swamped with formatting work (that is never a bad thing) and working hard to get my book finished as soon as I can.
I do have some great news to tell you, though. I have been asked to teach a 1-hour tutorial on formatting books for the Kindle at the O'Reilly Tools of Change (TOC) conference in February. If you are going to be at the conference or in New York in February, please drop by and listen in!

Joshua Tallent delivered impeccable, accurate, beautifully designed Kindle and Mobipocket formatting for our two eBooks, the Messiah Interviews and Divinely Inspired. He did this with ease, amazing patience, and in quick turnaround time, all very pleasantly and with kindness and class. He was further very helpful in the Mobipocket submission for each of our titles, which is relatively difficult compared to Kindle submission. He took whatever time was necessary to guide me on the telephone step by step through the submission process. I am extremely fortunate that our paths have crossed and I recommend him without reservation. Please feel free to email me at jerrypollock@bellsouth.net if you require further testimony of Joshua’s excellence as an eBook formatter and as a person.
