I'll have to try those. It's the same principle as reading them on the Kindle (which allows you to change the view of things), a good thing for people without Kindles, and if you allow me I will add these to theis blog when I POD and Kindle publish it (which is indeed the final exercise of this). To publish it and track the sales and eport on it, so blog authors can see some results. Thanks

Great tips!  Also:  1. change type to italic and read it once for errors that pop visually 2. read from bottom of page backwards (your mind will fill the sentences forward but obvious blips in rhythm or structure will shake you) 3. use a green high-lighter and just apply dots to anything awkward without actually correcting the spelling or changing anything then go back one more time.

Most excellent tips! Thank you so much! I am glad the one error was caught, it would have been a bit embarrassing! sam
