Here is a post from earlier in this thread where I talk about this:

Re: Any reviews for Crushing the Microstakes?

I really like your book crushing the microstakes.

I am reading it for the 2nd time atm. It helps me get back on the right path, when i am having the fancy play syndrom or when i watched to many coaching videos of higher stakes. They offer advice which is too advanced for NL 5.

I bought the book end of february. I had a 1bb/100 for february.
I read the book. My march results are 12bb/100 and april so far 14bb/100. It could be coincidence, but i dont think so. IMHO it is totally worth the money. (I play NL5 on PS).

I plan to reread it a 3rd time for sure. I like your writing style and how it is struktured.

I would like a book from you how to play optimally for NL10 and NL25. Please?

Here I think I can help you. I found once on the Internet a free pdf to Kindle converter. I don't remember its name, unfortunately, nor I have it installed anymore. But this program was awesome: it made the conversion from pdf to mobi or azw, but kept the files necessary for conversion into the project folder, including a HTML file.

This HTML file can be edited at will so your book can take the shape and size that you want.

If anyone knows the name of the program, I can help you with the conversion. I did it with Leatherass's Book so I think I can do it for yours too.

Calibre is the software, but it really sucks at converting to mobi without lots of tweaking.
Blackrain, I'm willing to give it a shot for ya, just need to email me the pdf

Uh-oh. I guess that means you won't be playing that ubernit style on 888 for much longer. I won't be able to steal your blinds!

About the Kindle conversion, if you have your Kindle registered, you can send this pdf at <username of the email you registered your kindle on>@kindle.com (*) . Put "Convert" in subject and send it. In a few minutes, the Kindle version will be sent to you, wireless. Generally it's an imperfect conversion, but for this particular book it's a very good one. Except for the table of contents, everything is very well converted

(*) - this means that if you registered your Kindle with JohnDoe@yahoo.com , send the aforementioned email at JohnDoe@Kindle.com

Thanks for the kind words about the book and I am really glad to hear that it has improved your results so much at the tables. Continued success!

As for writing another book. No plans at the moment but never say never I guess.

Yes, I have tried using Calibre and it didn't turn out very well at all. I am currently talking to a couple of professionals regarding getting a proper conversion done as I won't release something that is substandard. I can't remember if I have your email address. If you would like to discuss this further please email me at blackrain79@dragthebar.com or shoot me a pm on here. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice. As I said above, I won't release something that has problems. But I will give this a try and see how it looks.
