Will Luminosity and Radiance ever be available as e-books like “Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality” is? Because of an accidental reload, I lost my place on the Radiance webpage (one-page text of story, “article view” in Kindle so the margins wouldn’t jut out of the screen), and now it’s pretty much impossible to scroll back on my Kindle.
Now I’m trying to figure out if I can copy-paste the text onto my computer and convert it into a mobi file myself, but I have the sinking feeling I’m just going to have to suffer eyestrain reading the rest on my computer instead. I’m really caught up in the middle of Radiance and wish it were more technologically accessible!
I could make PDFs of the text, but I’m far too lazy to update them every time I post a new chapter, and I don’t know how to creat mobi files or anything else more fancy.
Another question, would Bella have the same handwriting as she had in canon? Because I found the font SMeyer used online and was wondering if I should use it for the places where she’s writing in her notebooks.
I see no reason why the handwriting should be different—go ahead, it’s a cute idea :) I’d recommend doing that in lieu of the italics I used to signify notebook passages, rather than in addition to them.
You might want to download the PDF Luminosity and see if you like the way the font looks. I’m unsure. I had to make it a bit larger than the rest of the text, because you couldn’t really read it when it was smaller.

I’m volunteering myself to make PDF’s of both books. I’ll keep them updated as well.
EDIT: And if I can figure out what mobi is and figure out how to convert it, I’ll do that too.
EDIT2: Never mind, I just saw Zack M Davis’ message.

If there is anything wrong with them, just tell me and I will fix it. I’ll be updating Radiance as Alicorn does.
Added links to these to the current discussion thread; will put them on my site and ff.net profile soon too.
Every now and then I find a typo or want to change wording in Luminosity, too, so that could stand being updated once a month or so too.
I’ll do that then. Also, what is the font you’ve used for the website banner? Was thinking of using it for the title’s on both files.
It’s called “Zephyr”, or “the Twilight font”, the latter of which is a useful search term if you wish to obtain it (ARRRRRRR).
Thanks. I’ve updated Luminosity just now.

It doesn’t appear to me as text at all (observe) - throughout it’s either completely blank or weird gray and black rectangles.
Also, the italics don’t appear to be in the same font as the rest of the text.
Thats very strange. I’ll just change it back to what it was originally then.
EDIT: Actually, what program are you opening it in? I’m using Adobe Reader 9.
Preview.
I’ve uploaded a second file. I’m assuming that you can’t see the font because you have a different OS (Mac?). I might be wrong.

The italics still look weird (like they are in a different and larger font) but the notebook entries are legible now.
I’ve changed the font from Times New Roman to Bookman Old Style. Maybe it will help with the italics. If not I’ll try something else when I wake up.

If you have the same font problems with the Radiance file, I’ll change it when I wake up.
The italics still look off and the handwriting portions still aren’t working. Not sure what’s the matter.
Hopefully this one is better. Changed the font to Ariel. http://www.mediafire.com/?d4ug2b6r91u67ef
That one looks fine :D
I can see it perfectly, so the problem isn’t something like you having any fonts in your machine that I don’t.
For the record, I just used Auto Kindle on an HTML file.
Here’s a mobi version through chapter 37.
