@rethakul: you should really update the book whenever you write a new episode. Just click on "edit this book" on this page and add a new section. Shouldn't take more than a minute for each new episode.
I just read this book again, then went back to the blog and read all the updates. http://olfh.blogspot.com
I laughed just as much the second time around! This book is hysterical. I recognise so many of your characters as I work with people just like them!

you're a star - thanks. I think I now know how to do this in the future. Als thanks for the promo on the homepage. If I every get real famous as an author and make it to Oprah, I'll mention you ;)
I have been using Feedbooks for a long time now to download books for my smartphone, but am happy now to contribute as well.
Every time I encounter someone who is interested into e-books, I point them to Feedbooks, as there is good stuff here for everyone.
Importing a Word or PDF would be the same as copying everything into a single block text: aside from page breaks and slightly bolder fonts, you don't have a real structure in such documents.
I've divided the whole book for you and used real footnotes too (instead of displaying the footnotes at the end of the text).
You plan on constantly upgrading the book to add new episodes right ? It's fairly easy: add a new section each time that you have a new episode to add and paste the text from your blog.
I've also featured the book, it'll show up in our selection on Stanza (iPhone) and will be displayed every now and then on our homepage.
thanks for the suggestion. I did read the help section but from what I understand I would have to copy & paste every section seperately into a structure?
I now have the whole book in a structured Word document plus a PDF document, is there now way to import that?
If not, then I will try to copy & paste all the different parts into your FeedBooks interface.
This book would look a lot better if it was properly divided into sections instead of a single flow of text. Check our help pages: http://www.feedbooks.com/help/publishing

@Hadrien, you are right - I will do this. I have a whole series from the last 8 months which I will add.
BTW - I will start a new blog inspired by Douglas Adams' "The meaning of Liff". Once I have some critical content, I will publish it here as well.

I loaded this ebook on my ebook reader yesterday and read it in one sitting.
Honestly, this is one of the funniest books I've ever read! Its brilliant and I loved it!
Its very rare for me to laugh out loud when I'm reading a book, but I was nearly crying as I laughed so much reading this.
Thanks, Dennie, for making me stay up so late last night. I'm going to the blog now to check for more information...
I know many librarians and I'm going to refer them to your book. I plan to read it again very soon!
