Dear Joe,
You could try italicizing and underlining that word then including a QR code at the bottom for tech savy individuals, and maybe for those that are tech challenged a glossary in the back with directions or the actual written out link for people to plug into their form of technology.
My response:
That sounds like a good workable solution. But to be more specific as to the step by step process, what do I do now?
I have the MS Word file, it is currently formatted as a Microsoft Word Document, can be saved as .pdf, Rich Text, according to the MS Word program.
My guess is that conversion to HTML code, using some editor program, would allow me to replace the current text that spells out the URL (http:http://www.etc.) with a Text Label of the Web page on that printed page, along with a footnote number. HTML code, as far as I know, is the stuff needed to access digital markets like Kindle/Amazon.
The back page of the book could have a QR Code that loads a Web Page where all the links are linked according to the labels in the printed book corresponding with the Web Page.
I also have a cover .pdf file; which is a picture of a drawing, a portrait of me, done by my daughter.
Does your company offer web page space as a part of marketing? I eventually need to figure out how to advertize from my own Web Page, and offer links to Paypal purchases, Bitcoin, etc.
The competition, as I'm sure you know, is fierce in these new areas of communication, so I'm seeking a lot more help than merely having a few prototype books to have in my hand and to hand out to other people, to see then if there is a market for the information I have to offer other people.
I need to open my current book file, replace all the links with a text description of the Web Page, a number or footnote to each Web Page being referred to, create a QR code, and I suppose it will help to even have an index at the back of the book that does list the actual URL text in case someone wants to type out all those symbols, and I would need to create a web page to publish on the internet (I have Power-Independence.com domain), send that edited file to you, in the correct format, send the digital photo which is the basis for the cover, or send my .pdf file of the cover with the basic Photo editing Text of the title, etc., and then you print 10 copies for the price quoted, or I can at that point add more copies?
I'm and old guy not finding it easy to learn new tricks.
Joe
