    Ok, I manually fixed all the errors I mentioned previously. I also edited the internal TOC so it links to the credits and end pages correctly. I'll send a copy to FireLotus and Rustic Dragon in case they want to make it available for everyone.

    In the PDF are still several reported and unfixed typos and a few inconsistencies in the content.
    (Starting with Midris instead of Midras in the page header of chapter 1.)

    The end comes a bit suddenly and low detailed. Would have loved to see that final Karpasic battle in Opalis, find it strange too, that Evard is searching for his friend still much later - doesn't he get any news from Opalis???

    For when will book 2 be scheduled?

    I just liked this entire thread and the subject of it :)
    But, just like the Novel, I'm not reading it until the game begins :p
    But the fact of what I "skimmed through here", it sure makes waiting difficult :(

    That would be nice, and if they do pass it on they should somehow reward you for your time. I'm not sure why it had to come to this though. Assuming they were working from InDesign or similar, saving as ePub would be, literally, a few mouse clicks.

    Yeah unfortunately with the PDF to Kindle conversion, the images do not translate. As far as reading the book goes, I have had no issue though and it reads just fine. While reading it is fine, I do wish I could see the images...

    Strange they would only offer a PDF for the digital version of the book?

    I'm guessing they wanted the text to appear on top of the background parchment image to give it that "old book" feeling. As far as I know, epub and amazon formats can't place text on top of background images (or, at least, I've never seen it done).
