Books by Voysey now ships real editions
The two days since Books went into early access were spent making the delivery real. Every finished book now packages into a full edition: a valid, well-formed EPUB you can send to any e-reader, and print-ready PDFs sized and bled for Lulu paperbacks and hardcovers. Covers can now be AI-generated in a couple of styles and carry conditional text layers, so the title and byline sit right on the art without being welded to a template. The finished editions come with proper Voysey imprint front and end matter, so what you receive reads like a book from a publisher, not a document from a script. Book-ready emails picked up their own Books by Voysey branding and now deep-link straight to the delivery page on the app. And if you left the title blank, Voysey now names the book for you at create time and again at ready if it is still Untitled.
