When I first started writing TG fiction, I had in mind a collection of illustrated stories similar to the image posted above. Unfortunately, digital formats such as kindle don't handle wrap-around text very well (I've tried all of the kindle variants, including the Textbook Creator, the Comic Book Maker etc), so I've generally gone with PDF format when publishing my own material. Needless to say, PDF also has its drawbacks in terms of text flow and zoom functions; in the present day there seems to be no happy medium unless you're willing start your own website and to do some major tinkering with HTML.

Naturally, a piece of fiction should be able to stand on its own merits, but as pointed out elsewhere, TG literature has a long history of illustrated storylines, in which the images are intended to compliment the narrative. Speaking for myself, I was always intrigued by the idea of producing magazine-style digital publications; as far back as the early 90s, I was taking courses in Photoshop and Quark Xpress to explore the possibilities.

Certainly, in the Age of Amazon, we're all aware of how important an eye-catching cover is to a book's potential sales, but how about the interior? Do you consider illustrations to be an unnecessary distraction from the textual content, or could a few well-placed images actually enhance the overall reading experience?
