Hello SGH fans and primarily, hi Alex!
I am a long time fan of Stargate Horizon virtual series. I liked the idea from the beginning and I believe you (and your staff) have accomplished something great. Now, I am thinking of "spreading the word" a little, so that you can gather broader support and hopefully deliver us new and exciting stories.
I am a new proud owner of Sony PRS 505 eBook reader and an idea sparked in my mind. Delivering SGH for this device (and similar) would be just great way for enjoying it on the go. I actually printed out a lot of episodes before, but it tends to get over your head, if you actually consider how many pages of text that is (don't get me wrong, that is great ).
So, even though these portable eInk devices can read pdf files, I thought about converting the episodes to ePub (open eBook format) and maybe giving them some nice look on the way (for use on smaller screens, than initially intented). Since I am going to read SGH from the begining in awaiting final episodes of season 4, I would be proof reading the texts as well, so the output should be pretty consistent.
My final intention? Giving the ePub files back to the community. And as I am member of forums on mobileread.com, where there are lot of dedicated ebook fans (with those eInk devices), my thinking was to publish them there in their open ebook library. I am certain, that lot of members will know about SGH, but maybe this would be nice way to attract more readers.
Anyway, in the end, it comes to you, Alex. Would you be okay with this? As you can see, my only interest is to get more people to SGH, as I believe it is great reading for sci-fi and Stargate fans alike.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Tomas
