[FM Discuss] The first non-FM book created with Booki?

[James Simmons]

We have speculated that people might use Booki for books other than
FLOSS Manuals.  This would include novels, plays, memoirs, poetry, and
everything else that is not a manual.  I even suggested this use of
Booki in my own FLOSS Manual E-Book Enlightenment, where I
demonstrated how children with XO laptops (as are used in the One
Laptop Per Child project) might use Booki to create their own e-books
and printed books.  I was not aware of anyone actually doing this with
Booki.

Until today.

An author who calls himself "Bhakta Jim" (to spare his friends and
family embarrassment) has used Booki to write his personal memoir and
published it as an e-book on the Kindle Store:

http://www.amazon.com/Life-Times-Bhakta-Jim-ebook/dp/B00730HE54/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_2

I understand that the author will be making his book free today and
tomorrow.  After that the price goes up to $2.99.  There may even be a
Create Space version of the book at some point, created using OBJAVI.
While nobody has approached the author about making it an Oprah's Book
Club selection or a major motion picture yet, stranger things have
happened.

I hope you all will celebrate what may well be an important milestone
for Booki by checking this out!
