Congrats Ed! Good luck publishing!

I have a similar project, so I'd like to know how you decided which comments to pick, how you put them together, etc.

I'm working with the epub format right now. Not sure if I made the right choice or not, but it seemed like the best technical option to hit the most platforms. Never occurred to me to use Scribd.



Thanks, Daniel.

My app gives 5 sort options

- by descending number of words, because short comments don't make good book entries

- by descending points, to take advantage of the feedback you guys already gave me

- by descending date, to grab the more applicable comments

- by descending weight, my own changeable formula, attempting to put the best stuff up front

- in output sequence, to get a feel for how the final product will flow

I say a little more about this in the foreword.

I also hope to clean up the app and make it available if anyone else wants to give it a try.
