The "class" seems disjointed. Sometimes one lecture will continue seemless to another lecture. Other times, there is a "hello" at the beginning of a lecture. The volume seems to change or perhaps it was microphone placement. I suspect the lectures in this course were not all made specifically for this course. The material is okay, not great if you are already using Scrivener.

I found this course to be mostly one big advertisement for the Instructor. What's worse is that I paid for the advertisement. Some advertising is fine, but this for me was too much.

As usual, David's delivery of "Formatting EBooks" course is excellent however I also took David's other course
"Scrivener - Unlock The Power Of Your Book Writing Software"
which I found most of it was the same information except after Lesson 5. The information about formatting and validating was new and valuable.
