It's been on my mind for a long time to check whether the very limited selection of file types for the books on my blog (PDF and/or EPUB) are adequate. I have put this off in tandem with setting the whole blog aside. Well today, in a brief but enlightening period of time, I found that Kindle, iPhones and iPads can display PDF files. I also know that android can handle PDF since I can view it on my nook. Android also uses EPUB (as when I get books from the library onto my nook). I really would rather not get into further Kindle conversions unless there were any requests, which so far has never happened. So, I made the rather obvious choice to go with what I already have!
My main concern was that the books' PDF files did not show up well on my laptop when I opened them. My guess is that to best view them you will have to download the file and read it from your own computer. The browsers have versions of their own PDF readers, and the well-known Adobe Acrobat Reader has free software for reading PDF files. You can get more information on the Adobe software HERE.
I apologize that this is probably at least partly a low-tech cop-out. But if anyone requests something else, I can try to accommodate, perhaps even with their help. I am just glad to feel I am doing something with the blog again.
The coming of September with school starting has made me want to get in a regular routine of reading and writing. I feel like I am getting my goals done each day when I read several verses of a study Bible with notes and a few pages of some other books. Now I'm even writing a blog post! I am hoping I can stick even loosely to my schedule.
Thanks to anyone who visits. Feel free to drop me a line. 💌

Greeting,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Bob Fox. I am a past resident of Muskegon and former Muskegon City Police Officer. I have been wandering through historical sites of Muskegon and found your blogs. I'm most interested in a photo of a Muskegon Police car #2. How can I obtain a good copy (suitable for framing?). Thank you, Bob. bobfoxmkg@gmail.com
Hi Bob and thanks for your inquiry. As I have updated in the profile (and probably should in the last post of his blog), Tom passed away in 2017 of advanced Parkinson's. He was the one who was interested in Muskegon history. In any case, I looked through his blog which you probably already did but did not see any picture of the vehicle you are looking for. Tom got a lot of his information from going through microfilm (for hours and hours) at the Hackley Library. However, in his retired years he scanned many local historical pictures at the Lakeshore Museum Center (this is the former Muskegon County Museum) in the Archives section. I have put the web address here: https://lakeshoremuseum.org/resources/ . They have a link where you can email an archivist. I think if anyone can help you, they can. I hope it works out for you. Kay
