Windows has betrayed me one too many times. I'm raising money to buy a Mac for my publishing business.

in reply to Michael W Lucas • •@Michael Lucas :flan_set_fire: @arch-packetmancer @sungo you *could* tell people that have issues that they are reading your books wrong and that they should read them under inferno
it probably would not be a sensible business decision, but you *could*
(is there even an epub reader for inferno? I've found traces of one for OEB inferno-os.org/inferno/man/1/e… , but surely that's enough for everybody, right?)
(also, I should be doing things, not wasting time looking for software for niche operating systems!)

I would never do that.
now, a windowed release? hold back the next Beaks epub for 60 days in favor of the inferno-only version? sure.

And now, I have to install inferno to be able to read that book, whatever it is. I may even send some extra money to Lucas just because.
Great job, everyone.

Don't know what ocean you're referencing, but there's one in Croatia this September. Plus Taiwan next spring?

Mr. Stross might have a far larger readership than I do (and well-earned, might I add).
But I will say: my readers are far, far worse.
