What can I use for pictures? Can I use images that I find on google?

You are just making everything up that you write, so yes, of course you are right. If I am responding to your fake, made up nonsense, then you are 100% right or 100% wrong. Whatever is going on in there, go with that.

Why are you even here? You only respond to my posts with hostility and none of your replies are related to iBooks Author. You don't know me. Why are you so hostile towards me?

lol, you have delusions of grandure. Don't be such a baby.

No, delusions of not having a troll attack what I write. Isn't there an Angry Troll site where your harassment would be more at home?

someone disagrees with you and they must be a troll! LOL

get used to not being right all the time

The issue is that you are not simply disagreeing, you are intentionally being rude as is the other fellow. If that is what you come here for, well, that would be one of the definitions of what is called a troll. In the future, I ask that you stay away from commenting on my posts. Please.

I shall reply where I like. You are being a baby

Please cease with your insults. May I remind you that this is a forum sponsored by Apple that users of iBooks Author can access to obtain info on how to contruct their ebooks. I'm sure there is a protocol for users that abuse this forum.

I found your dummy on the floor. Here you go.

My question: does anyone know how to report this person for their continued harassment?

Why are you getting so affected? Just stop replying.

Seriously Slim, you should stop. You are wrong, simple as that. Price has nothing to do with it.

Joe- Why are you so un-affected by her rudeness? Oh, that's right, she is not directing it at YOU.

Skippy- if you really think that price has nothing to do with obtaining a legal version of a rights-free image from a reputable image house vs something clipped from the net and sold cut-rate from some guy in a garage, well, what was it about bliss that Joseph Campbell used to say?

Because this is the Internet. Get over it. Why do you give a **** about what someone you don't know is saying. Move on.

A lack of diligence and a casual attitude toward obtaining and using images that you didn't create for your ebooks can be a disaster. In this case, you simply won't get your book published. Worst case you'll get sued if something gets thru and the owner sees it.

I agree with that, it's potentially serious.

I can go to a reputable image library and buy my images from them, with a good assurance that I'll have the rights I need for publication.

I can go to Wikipedia and take images that are in the public domain at zero cost.

Clearly, the Wikipedia images are cheaper. I'd also argue that they are safer because, if I use public domain images, I have an iron-clad guarantee that I won't get into trouble.

Price has nothing to do with the safety of the image.

Michi.

If you want to conduct yourself on her level, so be it. I just happen to think that saying "Because this is the Internet. Get over it." is about the worst excuse for rudness that I can think of.
