- mikecane 16y ago1) It looks like a scam site 2) In the eBook world, PDFs are not considered eBooks 3) There's nothing there to explain why someone can't DIY by just pasting a post into their own word processor and saving as PDF
- JoeyDoey 16y agoYou absolutely can make a PDF from HTML or however else but what this is, more than anything, is a design service. We take the content, design it, and give it back to you as an eBook. You can actually take that PDF and have it printed on print-on-demand services like MagCloud.
- mikecane 16y agoThen I really suggest a redesign of that site to emphasize the design services and to make it look less scammy than it does right now.
- JoeyDoey 16y agoBy "scammy", what exactly do you mean? I don't quite understand what, in the design or explanation of the service, comes off as "scammy".
- mrspeaker 16y agoKinda interesting idea - you should put up a "before and after" without needing to download a zip file
- JoeyDoey 16y agoThat's a good idea. I'll do that.
- kingsidharth 16y agoNice service. Bad name. I can't remember the name but there is one free WordPress plugin for this out there. So you need to have good design as your USP. Or something else?
- JoeyDoey 16y agoElegant design is definitely one of the main selling points. Perhaps I need to communicate that better in the copy.
