First real uke-related post in a while... Because I actually have something to share.
I've endeavored to make a usable PDF songbook for Kindle/Nook/Whatever users. I'm making it in MS word, and I've decided to post my works in progress in case anyone's interested.
I'm trying to leave out things like chord diagrams, using minimal space in the margins, making the font size for the lyrics larger than the chord markings, etc., but ended up putting silly pictures in anyway. I minored in "Technical Communication" in college, and spent a lot of time talking about "readability" and "usability" and how a document "flows," but my skillz have clearly atrophy'd. This is for anyone to do whatever they want with.
Also, this is a first draft of a work in progress. I just wanted to share before I lost interest and forgot I was working on it.
If you want to expand what I've done, though, upload what you come up with. I'm interested to see if this can be made to work.
Quick edit:
Does anybody know how to add a linked Table of Contents to a document? I'd like to add one. It'll come in handy as I add songs. I can't figure it out.
