Not a difficult one, but I hope you want to be honest about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week I put this image on twitter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/FMdPtinX0AIR29D?format=jpg&amp;name=900x900\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Jinn paperback<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But&#8230; I wonder if you, dear and valued reader, feel good about the inside. And specifically about the font size used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put: do you find the pages easy to read? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could bore you with all kinds of technical things, but that is not the reason for this post. I would just like to know if you feel the used font could be a tad larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If yes, when you think that makes the pages a bit easier to read, I need to point out that this will have an impact on the size of the book. A book will grow by a few pages if I change the size of the font. Not dramatically, but it might add a few dimes to the price of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For that reason also, I would like to know if you\u00b4re fine with the books they are now, of if you would like the size of the letters a bit larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u00b4t be afraid that I will laugh, this is a serious question. Reading should be a joy, not something that costs too much or be done with a magnifying glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you in advance all for your comments. (And in case you were waiting for the paperback of Jinn to come out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09SP43CVQ\">you can find it here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>~Paul<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a question to the people who buy the paperback versions of my stories.
