Apart from <a title="creating an infographic about the history of e-books" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2011/02/27/40-years-of-e-books-infographic/">creating an infographic about the history of e-books</a>, I&#8217;d like to share with you my geek fiction stories published at Smashwords &#8211; completely for free. Before proceeding to checkout just enter a relevant promotional code (shown later in this post).</p>
<p><strong>The codes are valid from now on until March the 13th.</strong></p>
<p>What is geek fiction? Short stories for geeks, who struggle with technology, which in many cases instead of bringing help is creating problems. So if you&#8217;ll be reading the stories on your iPad and the battery will suddenly die &#8211; that&#8217;s the world described in both <em>Password Incorrect</em> and <em>Failure Confirmed</em>. <span id="more-20748"></span></p>
<p>The good thing about Smashwords is that the books are available in many formats, including epub and mobi, so you can read them practically on any device. If you&#8217;re a geek but haven&#8217;t tried reading an e-book, the time has come to do it.</p>
<p>And check Read an E-book Week site as well as <strong>#ebookweek</strong> tag on Twitter. Many authors are reducing prices of their e-books or offer free downloads. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find a good book for yourself.</p>

<p>Modern self-publishing authors not only write books. They also design covers, record podcasts, run competitions, organize blog tours &#8211; everything they think is needed for the book to succeed. I imagine that every day every writer 2.0 is asking himself a question &#8220;what else can I do <em>myself</em>?&#8221;.</p>
<p>In my case, since last Sunday it&#8217;s also composing music. Last Sunday we went to a countryside, where there was wi-fi supposed to work. It was not. I had to do something to overcome the coming symptoms of a heavy Internet addiction. I started to play with iSequence on my iPhone. The feeling was fantastic, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ve found the right tool to make a soundtrack music for a trailer of my <a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/banner_big_pi_fc.jpg">two new books</a>. I was trying Garage Band before, but it&#8217;s too easy, you just have to match together music loops. And it&#8217;s not from a mobile world.</p>
<p>With iSequence you are actually composing, so this is both a challenge and fun. To check how it works just watch this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huhP4VsYmhQ">video tutorial</a>. You can download the app <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/pl/app/isequence/id321412318?mt=8">here</a>. And last thing: it&#8217;s just fantastic, that in our times we can plan to do things personally, as there&#8217;s surely at least one app for that.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">PS. And if you want to try something completely new, a lack of wi-fi signal really helps.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a mobile freak and here you have another prove of it. These are the brand new covers, I&#8217;ve designed with a help of my Twitter friends for two volumes of my short stories, which will be available in a couple of weeks through Smashwords/Barnes&amp;Noble. In the meantime you can download a free edition <a href="http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3127">here</a>. I describe the stories as tech-absurd. The bot-behaving gadget-eating error-ready part of you will understand, what I mean.</p>
<p>The brief I issued to myself was simple: get an attention of geeks with a message: &#8220;<strong>technology is wonderful, but&#8230;</strong>&#8221; (oh, and check the bottom bar for options).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-10659" title="Password Incorrect" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pi_barnesandnoble-150x150.jpg" alt="Password Incorrect" width="150" height="150" />Jak wcześniej <a title="pisałem" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/09/07/nie-dalo-sie-w-merlinie-zawsze-mozna-w-barnesnoble/">pisałem</a>, bez żadnej łaski można znaleźć się w ofercie amerykańskiego Barnes&amp;Noble. Wystarczy <a title="opublikować książkę" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/06/26/gdzie-publikowac-smashwords/">opublikować książkę</a> w serwisie Smashwords. Gdy publikacja spełni kilka wymogów formalnych, znajdzie się w katalogu Premium, a to oznacza zakwalifikowanie do oferty B&amp;N. Niedawno w mailu do autorów, Mark Coker, szef Smashwords podzielił się informacją, że podobna umowa została podpisana również z Sony eBook Store.</p>
<p>W tym wpisie chciałbym podzielić się kilkoma uwagami o tym, jak system działa w praktyce, zdradzić swoje plany, a także poprosić o pomoc. <span id="more-10654"></span></p>
<h4>Zarządzanie książką</h4>
<p>Publikacjami zarządza się z panelu w Smashwords. Po ukazaniu się <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Password-Incorrect/Nick-Name/e/2940000692257/?itm=2&amp;USRI=nick+name">książki</a> w katalogu B&amp;N zmieniłem jej cenę z 4,95 USD na &#8220;free&#8221;. Zmiana została odnotowana jedynie w Smashwords. Tak więc pierwsza konkluzja jest taka, że książka jest wprowadzana do B&amp;N na piechotę i trzeba liczyć się z tym, że wszelkie zmiany będą odbywały się w ramach kolejnych tur kwalifikacyjnych.</p>
<p>Druga sprawa to konwersja. B&amp;N zamienia format ePub ze Smashwords na swój format (ereader), co jest o tyle dziwaczne, że przy okazji <a title="Nooka" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/10/22/nook-ereader-in-action-video/">Nooka</a> sam zapowiada przejście na ePub. Konwersja powoduje, że książka, którą sformatowałem zgodnie z przewodnikiem Smashwords  wygląda po ściągnięciu na komórkę zupełnie inaczej niż w oryginale. Następnym razem nie będę wrzucał dokumentu .doc, ale albo .txt albo .rtf z pogrubionymi jedynie tytułami opowiadań.</p>
<p>Ciekawie została rozwiązana sprawa numeru ISBN. Książki w Smashwords oczywiście go nie mają. W B&amp;N numer zostaje nadany automatycznie. Jak na razie nie widzę przeciwskazań, a jedynie ułatwienie dla autora. Inna sprawa, że wszystkie książki z oferty księgarni, również e-booki, dostępne są jedynie na terytorium USA. Ma to związek z prawami autorskimi. Ale w przypadku książek ze Smashwords, dostępnych przecież za zgodą autorów na całym świecie, trochę to bez sensu.</p>
<p></p>
<h4>Plany</h4>
<p>Do oferty B&amp;N chcę wprowadzić dwie książki zamiast jednej. Po pierwsze dlatego, że <em>Password Incorrect</em> ze Smashwords niewiele różni się od darmowej wersji książki z Feedbooks. Byłoby nieuczciwie w jednym miejscu książkę rozdawać, a w drugim sprzedawać. Po drugie &#8211; opowiadań przetłumaczonych na angielski mam 50, jest więc materiał na dwie książki o podobnej objętości i strukturze. W każdym z tomów będzie dodatek w postaci kilkunastu <a title="hashtagstories" href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/2009/05/11/hashtagstory-a-new-literary-project-on-twitter/">hashtagstories</a>.</p>
<p>Pierwszy tom będzie się nazywał jak publikacja darmowa &#8211; <em>Password Incorrect</em>. Drugi to <em>Failure Confirmed</em>. I tu docieram do trzeciego powodu: jedna książka to przypadek, dwie &#8211; już nie. Wierzę w to, że seria pozwoli zmienić odbiór mojej twórczości.</p>
<p>Zmieniłem również okładki. W porównaniu z oryginałem, który miał ładnie wyglądać na ekranie komórki (i nic poza tym), te okładki mają sprzedawać myśl, że technologia wygląda pięknie, ale co chwila czai się jakiś (przepraszam że po angielsku) &#8211; <em>fail</em>. Zależało mi też na tym, by konsekwentnie być kojarzonym z telefonami i innymi urządzeniami mobilnymi. Jak już chcę być pisarzem mobilnym, to muszę drążyć temat. Oto efekt pracy, nie było łatwo, ale rozbawił mnie OoopStore (prawy dolny róg) i potem było już z górki:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pi_barnesandnoble.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-10659" style="padding-right: 30px;" title="Password Incorrect" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pi_barnesandnoble-200x300.jpg" alt="Password Incorrect" width="200" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fc_barnesandnoble1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10661" title="Failure Confirmed" src="http://www.passwordincorrect.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/fc_barnesandnoble1-200x300.jpg" alt="Failure Confirmed" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Niedawno poprosiłem przyjaciół z Twittera o wybór wersji <em>Password Incorrect</em> i na podstawie okładki wybranej w twittokratycznych wyborach przygotowałem <em>Failure Confirmed</em>.</p>
<h4>Prośba</h4>
<p>Mam jeszcze gorącą prośbę. Staram się określać siebie, jako autora tworzącego tech-absurd, bo to najlepiej opisuje ton i tematykę opowiadań. Ale z drugiej trony absurd dla wielu ludzi kojarzy się z czymś &#8220;be&#8221; i zanim dotrze do nich informacja, że to to lektura łatwa, przyjemna i wcale nie chodzi o absurd z wiadomości TV, to jest po sprawie. W związku z tym zastanawiam się, czy nie lepiej podać &#8220;tech-fiction stories&#8221;.</p>
<p>Jeśli mielibyście się zdecydować na kupno książki, to który opis bardziej by was przekonał? Z góry dziękuję za odpowiedzi, a także za sugestie w komentarzach.</p>
