In my previous post, I offered a few ideas on how to make e-books feel unique by taking advantage of some visual design cues.
But I neglected to mention one crucial step: test, test, test your EPUB and MOBI files on multiple devices and apps.
A simple example: try using a very light blue for a chapter title. How does it look on an iPad and on a Kindle Fire?

Waiting to see which new varieties breeders will bring out for show and tell at 2016 California Spring Trials feels to me like it did waiting for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" to hit the movie theaters last December.

I used to think that staying up late to finish something was the best solution to getting things done. Or that I needed to work 12-plus hours a day on my dreams if I ever wanted to see them realized.
