Thanks for the free ecopy of "The View of the Shrew - Unmasking the Truth in a Confused World", 2025 by Todd Hayen. I found that the pdf lacked the navigation pane of the epub, but maybe that's just my viewer. The epub reports a far smaller file size on Win10.
Yes, there is no "linkable" table of contents in the PDF...the PDF is a direct conversion from the WORD doc, which has no linkable TOC. Only the Kindle version has that, and maybe any of the other ePub users do as well; I don't know.
And yes, the PDF is not compressed, so it is very large. I did this because I wanted the user to have the highest resolution of the images in the PDF. The ePub (and thus Kindle KPF file) had to be compressed somewhat due to the criteria set by KDP for Kindle ebooks. Sorry if any of that is a problem. \\
Putting one of these things together is a nightmare. I am sure there are services that would do all of this for me for a fee, but I just can't afford that. I am spending a fortune as it is just getting this book out there.
Thanks for downloading it! I hope you write a review for me on Amazon after tomorrow (it is available to buy online tomorrow).
Composing in HTML might warrant consideration. I followed a professor's example and find that HTML has conversion utilities to other file formats.
You might also consider using AI to help with business. I have reports of people running impressive businesses without employees using AI agents. I'd ask google, Perplexity.AI and Duck.AI for free or economical suggestions. I also have reports of AI agent orchestration consoles that help manage AI processes.
He reports that he describes changes more than codes, but his workstation includes an option to code directly (Caveman Mode).
I wondered what he meant by PR, so I asked. Google reported:
AI Overview
When Conductor CEO Charlie Holtz uses the abbreviation PR, he is referring to a Pull Request. In software development, a PR is a process in version control systems (like Git) where a developer proposes changes to a codebase, allowing teammates to review, test, and approve the code before it gets "merged" into the main project. [1, 2, 3, 4]
At Conductor, the primary focus is on building interfaces and orchestration platforms for multiple, parallel AI coding agents. When Holtz discusses PRs, he is specifically highlighting how AI agents handle the bulk of the coding, while the human developer acts as an overseer who reviews, refines, and merges the completed PRs. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Because many AI-generated PRs require manual evaluation, tools like Conductor allow engineers to easily toggle between parallel agent windows, monitor what the agents are building, and merge the code. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Scientists at ETH Zurich have created a new kind of pixel that emits and captures light simultaneously. Called a Fourier pixel, it uses nanometer-scale sculpted surfaces to control brightness, phase, and polarization — properties ordinary pixels miss entirely. The breakthrough [ https://www.zmescience.com/science/nanotechnology-science/this-new-pixel-could-turn-screens-into-cameras/ ] could potentially lead to screens that double as cameras, holographic displays, adaptive optics, and quantum communication.
Big congrats Todd...!! Thanks for the opportunity to read the PDF for free. Have downloaded and will write a review as soon as I can. I know this will be a Best Seller, can't wait to dig in!
