Welcome to Pixelated Publishing
Most rational people agree that digital publishing
will never replace traditional publishing in the foreseeable future,
regardless how much quicker and easier it is to produce digital
files and distribute them on the web. People who love books will
not give up the pleasure of a book in hand. Who wants to curl up
by the fire with a stack of loose papers?
Nevertheless, it would be foolish and incredibly
short-sighted to believe that the newest technologies available,
and yet to come, will not impact the way we publish information.
Afterall, centuries of documents recorded on papyrus scrolls did
eventually give way to the codex (bound manuscripts written on both
sides) which then, with the invention of the Guttenberg press, evolved
to printed books. Technology does have its way, sooner or later,
especially if it is time-saving.
With this in mind, and understanding that
certain types of books are already well suited to the pdf downloadble
file format, Pixelated Publishing is launched as a way to blaze
a new path, in this new era, for these specific genres. Afterall,
how much easier is it for the end-user to print out a single flat
page and take it to kitchen or workshop instead of wrestling with
an open book? Or quickly print out multiples to hand out to scout
troops or students working on a project? How much better to buy
only what you want, download it and store it on your computer to
print out over and over without buying forty other recipes or craft
projects that will never get made? We won't even mention all the
trees that didn't have to die to print out books that will end up
on bargain tables, in garage sales or worse, remaindered and stored
in warehouses.
It is said a journey begins with the first step
and thus Pixelated Publishing begins with Perfect
Parmesan - 12 Terrific Low-Carb Recipes. More will be added
as soon as possible. Bookmark us and check back often. You might
be glad you did. Many great titles are already in the works.
All files require Adobe Reader 5.0 or later which
is a free download from Adobe.com
When I was four
years old, I would sit for hours staring at the pages of a book,
willing the words to speak to me. I don't recall the moment I first
began to read, I only know that I have never gotten over it.
