So, today, I was poking around and found out two things regarding my previous job:

1. The Kindle has been <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-983893 ... 20">pretty much completely hacked</a> (which I'm surprised didn't happen sooner)
2. People are starting to notice <a href="http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showth ... 18287">the specific thing I worked on</a>. One particular quote from that made me feel the most warm fuzzies I've ever felt about anything I've worked on:

I also have bought books that were using different fonts and weren't scanned .pdf. The reflow worked, the changing justification options (left and full justified) worked, and the dictionary option worked. They were also really clear--as opposed to some of the scanned .pdf books they have.

So my theory is that they do have some kind of capability somewhere/somehow to embed different fonts, but I can't find any info at all.

Now if the books really are just scanned .pdfs, then they are the best job I have ever seen. Crystal-clear, reflowable text.

It's only a matter of time before people figure out what's REALLY going on. I've been looking forward to seeing peoples' reactions to that discovery.

Niv, you look WAY too serious to be standing in front of a giant toy soldier!

Your kids are adorable! I like the requisite Japanese tourist peace sign.
