Vellum vs MacBook Air

I have a refurbished 2012 MacBook Air I use to run Vellum, a program which makes creating the interior layout for print books much easier.

That said, if you have ever used a Mac, you know that their power cords tend to be on the fragile side. When I sat down to make the print edition of SILENT ORDER: MASTER HAND, I discovered that the power cord had gone bad.

Fortunately, the MacBook was still fully charged. I wondered if I could get SILENT ORDER: MASTER HAND converted to a paperback book off a single battery charge, so I decided to give it a try.

And as it turns out, I could! It took exactly 6% of the remaining battery charge to import the Word document of SILENT ORDER: MASTER HAND, get it arranged properly, clean it up, and export it to a print-interior PDF.

That could be a tagline for Vellum – you can do your book interior in 6% of the battery charge!

SILENT ORDER: MASTER HAND is now available in print here.
