[NTLK] eBook format?

[Marisa Giancarla]

Ok, for my latest i created it in both formats, but i guess i will stick to NP format. This was the first book with chapters, the others were just one short text. This latest one has 21 chapters and 386 pages 😄 - check out Doc Savage, Man of Bronze in the download area :)... Thanks for telling me about Bernies. Ill put single chapter stories in both formats since the losing track of where you had read it wouldn't really happen there...

Thanks again!

Marisa
