Hi guys. I happened to stumble across this thread and was pleased to read your comments. Let me try to answer most of your questions in one reply.
1. The Kindle versions may not be available any longer, I am sorry to say, due to the fact that it does not display the images well, as well as the tables and figures. However, I have not totally abandoned the thought of updating them.
2. My web page is simple and to the point. I don't have any desire to make it otherwise. I do hand code it, as one mentioned. The reason for the script at the end, to display the few lines of text, is simply to allow me to modify one file and all pages will see that update. Yes, I could do it differently, but as you mention, it loads in less than a second. If that isn't fast enough for someone, they are in too much of a hurry. Besides, web development is not my interest.
3. My books are an on-going project that I enjoy doing and thought that others might benefit from my work. Yes, I make a slight profit from it, but nothing is free. You have to earn it some how. With that said, I fully support each book and its contents. If something is not clear or understandable, a simple email asking about that subject is happily accepted and replied to. I then try to make that subject more understandable in the next issue.
4. About the "Vanity Publishing" comment. I never looked at it that way. I started to write the book and looked at other books to see what they had for a Contents page. I filled in my name expecting to replace it with other names as that process was done. At this time, no outside sources have been used. Maybe a later time. However, please be assured that it is not due to "Vanity". I am a humble man, and am writing another book explaining exactly how humble I am (Yes, sarcasm intended) :-)
My books aren't the next best thing, I admit that. I don't expect them to be wonderful and the best reference out there. The main reason I do the work is for the enjoyment of the project. If you see an improvement you would like, all suggestions are welcome. I won't promise that they will be added, but all suggestions are very welcome. I give credit at the end of the book to those who contribute.
Again, if any questions are asked, I freely do my best to answer them, whether someone has bought my book(s) or not. I suggest obtaining the book first, then ask a question, but that is not required.
Thank you for your comments. I was pleased to read them.
Ben
