Thanks!

A few things are holding me back ATM. The small user base, the time it will take to create (500+ hours min, this is time I could use concentrating on proven projects like the MPC Bible and new expansions) and the potential requirements for heavy re-writes should the next firmware be as big as Akai are claiming it will be.
Also, I still feel that I myself am learning how to use the Force, it's important that I feel I know it inside-out before I write a book about it. I want the book to be insightful, that's going to take some time.
And another issue, which might sound minor but is actually a big deal, is that it's not possible to take screenshots from the Force (well, I'm sure it is as I believe the official manual uses actual screenshots, they probably activate the HDMI port on the internal board or something similar..).
For the MPC Bible I can currently use the MPC Touch for screenshots with some minor tweaks here and there for any differences (but generally speaking the MPC Touch screens match up perfectly). For the Force, I have to construct the screenshots manually from graphic templates or perhaps switch to using actual direct photos of the screen, which in itself presents various technical obstacles and compromises.
