The 7 book series is well over 800,000 words. Yet although it went into the hands of more than two dozen people to review it (as one continuous pdf file, set to retail for $69) not one reviewer (qualified first as to their interest in the topical area) has managed to wade through it. That shows that the ability to use it as a single file is impaired, or worse, bogs them down to the point of disinterest. The series isn't light reading, however the majority of the series is interesting to very interesting. The first part of it is a do-it-yourself explanation of how to get the most out of dreams. The underlying theme (all based on Numbers 12:6) is that the books reveal the beginning of the End Time, and the problems and concerns that we must face and overcome to survive. Now all I need is a program that can protect from the most problematic part of making a book available in digital formats, the sharing of it with multiple friends and other acts of petty piracy.
