Help:Books/Feedback/Archives/2013/May

Observation: no obvious button "New Feedback"

I cannot locate (i.e., spot, find, read, search) something that is unambiguously the button "New Feedback" which would permit me to enter my feedback... obviously I did find it... but it took time clicking links, hovering over icons, as well trial-n-error

request: at top of page placement of button "New Feedback"

request: when providing a form for new feedback, auto-populate the stuff implied by "Sign your posts on talk pages"

I have streamlined the talk pages so that everything goes either to this page or to Help talk:Books. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:26, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Request: more choices for e-book formatting

Everybody has their personal preference and mine happens to be EPUB; it is not (obviously) available; since rendering is performed dynamically prior to permitting downloading (e.g., “Please wait while the document is being generated Progress: 13.76%”), it seems the appropriate point to allow the customer (aka: user, consumer) to choose their preferred format;

EPUB is actually a supported format on some projects, like Wikivoyage, but is turned off on other projects. I will try to find out why that is for you. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:24, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I will try to find out more information about how the list of formats was selected and whether or not additional formats could be added. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
