Hey Guys !! Has anyone heard about the book "Basics Of Game Maker" , it's written by me and published on Amazon.com ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007N6K79I ) , there are no customer reviews as yet , I would like to know more about any changes or modification which I could make to offer readers a better reading experience

Not bad, being 16.
I'm worried about the price though, not many GM users have the money for that. (even if it's a small amount.)

I agree that the price of the print version is too high but I had no option , it is the minimum threshold which Create Space has set as it is full color and consists of around 482 pages , The digital edition is for $9.99 and you can even read it for free if you are an Amazon Prime Member and you don't need a kindle for reading ebooks you can simply download an app for reading books on your computer , tablet or a smartphone

Hi, I have a question. Is this digital format as convenient as PDF format? Thanks.

Sorry I have never tried myself but it may be convenient since there are many who download apps for reading books on devices other than kindle

I'd be happy to pay $10 for a PDF version, but unfortunately I cannot STAND Kindle ebooks, even if I can use them on my computer. Would you consider selling a PDF version?

If I consider selling a PDF version I would be violating the terms and conditions of amazon.com and amazon provides DRM protection on the other hand PDF's can be easily copied.

That's a shame, I didn't realise it was in Amazon's terms & conditions that to distribute through them you would not be able to offer a PDF for sale as well. Oh well, good luck with the sale of the book anyway, it looks interesting

Hi,

May I ask a question? What is wrong with the Kindle format? Thanks.

Even I was going to ask about the same, anyways the book will also be available on google books

Try publishing on lulu.com, you can sell as a PDF download, only takes a few minutes to set up, plus you can sell printed via amazon.

I just can't stand that I have to have it tied down with DRM. I don't like the idea of having it tied to an account permanently, and that I have to install software specifically to read books of this format on each device I want to read it on. PDF is perfect for me - portable and universal. Packt PDF books are watermarked with your personal details (name, email address, house address, etc) to discourage people from pirating them, but still they work without limitations on any device that is compatible with PDF.

I actually bought the B&W print version of Aditya's book from Amazon. It is enormous - like a Yellow Pages - but for the money is good value. It has large text and TONS of screenshots, and I think it would benefit from being organized a bit clearer, but for the money it is a good buy for a beginner like me.
