[TROM1] Kindle Version of TROM finished

Hi TROMers
  I spent a lot of time working on the Supplemental Lectures and got pretty 
wild editing them so they would be easy to read and understand.

When they were  complete I decided to apply the same standards to the original 
TROM manual and address the problems of a non existent Table of Contents, no 
index of words and run on paragraphs.

It appears that Greg Pickering did not know where to end a paragraph and ran 
several together on numerous occasions.

I converted the word document to an HTML document needed to make a kindle book 
and began adding paragraph breaks at each change in the subject being 
presented.  


I next put chapter titles and sub chapter titles in the manual so the reader 
could see the Table of Contents as an outline of the book and easily find what 
they wanted to look at.

Next I added a couple of graphics in the logic section and put several example 
Postulate Failure Charts in the text where Dennis mentions them by name. Eg. To 
Know, To Sex, Masculinity, Femininity and Sexual sensation etc.

Since Kindle for the PC software has an excellent word look up function the 
reader can search for any word in the book and get a list of locations where 
the word appears to click on and jump to the text.  With this feature an index 
is not needed.

So Now it is done and uploaded to the tromhelp.com/services webpage. This was 
done January 30, 2013 so if you have an earlier version of the Kindle TROM 
manual you will want to download the latest one.

I hope all of you will download it and give it a read.   I guarantee you will 
be able to read and understand it much better than the versions which do not 
have the fix for those run on paragraphs.


Sincerely

Pete,
Thanks much.  Correct paragraphing is excellent.  An index and table of
contents was on my wish list since my beginning with this tech.  I hope
that the charts are accurate.
I am unfortunately not computer literate;  how do I download a Kindle?  Do
I have to subscribe to Amazon.com ?
Thanks,
Aarre Peltomaa
