We had a pretty boring week, but for once, that’s a good thing! While keeping an eye on the news, we made progress on new and updated books that will start appearing next week.
Friday Report: January 15, 2021
This week marked our first release of 2021: a new edition of Take Control of Pages. Slowly but surely, more progress is occurring. We also learned some interesting things about ebooks in MOBI format.
Friday Report: January 8, 2021
It is now 2021, or 2020 version 1.1, if you prefer—sort of improved but still buggy. Instead of going into details about new books and the inner workings of Take Control, this week Joe reflects on real-world events.
Friday Report: December 18, 2020
In our last Friday report of 2020, we look at a brand new book, a few updates, and what’s in store in the near future. Also, Mobi files have been turning out to be a real pain.
Friday Report: December 11, 2020
We released a new book this week that was outdated within hours, so that was interesting. We’re now trying to figure out how much we can cram into the next week and a half or so before we take a holiday break.
Friday Report: December 4, 2020
We just wrapped up a big sale, which was nice in the sense of bringing in lots of dollars in a short time, but frustrating in other ways. Of course, a lot of things about 2020 were frustrating.
Friday Report: November 27, 2020
Like most retailers, we’re having a sale this week, and it’s going splendidly so far. Slowly but surely, we’re chipping away at our long list of updates, new titles, and bug fixes, too.
Friday Report: November 20, 2020
It was another slow news week at Take Control Books, but Joe has a new M1 Mac to play with, and is looking forward to Thanksgiving next week (even though it will be on a pretty small scale).
Friday Report: November 13, 2020
Apple managed to ship Big Sur and announce the first Macs with Apple silicon before Friday the 13th. We published a couple of updated books this week, too, and more are in the works.
Friday Report: November 6, 2020
This was (obviously) a big news week for the United States, and consequently a slow news week for Take Control Books (though we did get one updated book out).
