[QUOTE="GMSkarka, post: 2191690, member: 763"] That's strange. I haven't received anything from you. (I'll check my spam folder, though -- that might be the solution) But to the issue at hand-- A bit of explanation: I'm a 12 year veteran of the print side of this industry, and so I lay out our products based on that experience...I'm always thinking of presentation on par with the print side of the business. I never worried about "graphics light" versions, because, as has been stated here, people can shut off graphics with Acrobat, or copy-and-paste the text if its really that big of an issue (we NEVER disable that function, unlike some PDF publishers). At this point, producing a secondary version just for the handful of folks who have issues with the graphics (but are not wanting to take any of the above steps) would essentially be double the work (laying out two versions of the book) for one purchase price, which, given the razor-thin profit margins of this industry, is not something that I'd particularly be interested in, unless there was a much larger call for it. Right now, I can count the number of complaints about our graphics on one hand. [/QUOTE]
