Over the period of time I have written few short stories for my amusement. I am trying to convert them or alteast one story into a book.
Just wanted to know from personal experience if there is any platform for the hobby authors to publish their work and sell them as a digital/ebook.
Proofreading will be a added advantage too. I am not sure book will be sold a lot (if any) so cost should be at lower end if not free.
cheers,
Super

Publish it on Amazon. Really easy to do.

Hmm! It doesn't seem to bother most self-publishers ... or even a few established publishers. I get correction versions on my Kindle at least once a week!
You're unlikely to get it for free ... unless you know a proofreader of whom you also have a picture with which to blackmail!

Same here. I've checked that thing twice. Also that email notification confirmation has been showing up for the past 30 minutes. My guess is they did a release today and didn't functional test the website enough.

Seems like the problem might be going on right now, because I just tried to upvote someone's post and it told me that I needed to have a confirmed email address, even though my email address has been confirmed for years.

I just had the same problem with "unconfirmed email". I went to my profile to update things (no updating needed) and then when I clicked save my settings (just in case) it told me that my userid was in use and I should either create one with another name or login - I was already logged in!

Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Ups, I forgot to add the ??? in the title, what I really want to said, is Why Flash must die???
On those days I had see several articles like this:
http://www.wired.com/2015/07/adobe-flash-player-die/[^]
and it's funny, specially when I see comments like:
"Flash is a closed, proprietary system on a web that deserves open standards. And it’s a resource-heavy battery suck."
When I believe that is exactly what makes it strong... being not open source means, it have one single standard, the company behind it makes it work the same from browser to browser...
so, you could be asking, what is my point? well if you have work with WebApps you already know how painful and time consuming is working with JS, each browsers implements their own standards, I think JS main issue is also what makes it "stronger" the opensource, due no real company/agency ensuring it as a unique standard, its open for multiple implementations. It's ridiculous how a simple JS will not work the same from browser to browser, and sometimes is just to show a single button!!! a button, so old that I don't understand how this code can be broken!
Well, I know Flash lost the war, but think on it, shouldn't we be finding something better than JS? something that makes us work just in a single code version without needed extra tools to make our JS Browser compatible?
You guys should see me each time I found the issue is only present in IE or Chrome... or some browser, each time I found one I jell I f*** hate JS, and my coworkers already know I found another compatibility issue.
(Developers shouldn't need to implement code like: if IE then this, if mozilla then this, is chrome then this.... it's just ridiculous)

EDIT: fixed link to Howard Scott Warshaw wikipedia entry
Have you ever watched the movie / documentary, Atari: Game Over (amazon link to trailer)[^]?
It's extremely interesting, because as you watch you'll hear about Howard Scott Warshaw[^] creator of Yar's Revenge and numerous other Atari titles which moved him to the top of the game system heap.
However, as you watch, you'll see learn that he no longer does game development.
It's very interesting story about why. Very interesting about how beliefs come into the people's imagination and are furthered by journalists who tell only one angle of the story which is often incorrect or (as in this case) and straight up falsehood.
Check it out, as a developer you'll probably really like it. Very interesting history of Atari too.
