I recently read the sequences at a fairly rapid pace using the ebooks versions available on my ipad and there were certainly a few common things I found intensely irritating. I definitely found some of the sequences interesting enough to read again more closely. Which of the sequences are included in the ebook?
Basically all of them, with some modifications (e.g. a significantly reduced QM sequence), and with some reorganizing to improve flow.
Which particular things did you find irritating?
Poor handling of images, maths sections and inter-sequence links were the most notable ones I remember
I've proofread three of the chapters. There are 340 of them in the version of the ebook that I was sent, and the whole thing runs over 2000 pages. At roughly 250 words per page, that's 500k words.
So, basically what alexvermeer said - pretty much all of them.
Does anyone know what happened to the version that was supposed to be reviewed/edited down by a professional so it could be publishable length? There's so much good stuff there I'd love to be able to send to friend and family but 500k worth of blog posts is much harder to send someone than a nicely published 200k version.
