Hello,
Congartulations Anselm. It worked very well on my Kindle.
I have used Calibre to convert it to an ePub and tested it in Firefox.
Again, it works well and looks good. I use a Laptop in Class for music and
this will be a valuable addition.
Thanks Anselm for all your effort on our behalf and Eric for probucing the
excellent cribs.
To all, have a great holiday season and return to dancing refreshed.
Brian Charlton,
Sydney, Australia
