John, this is an incredibly useful resource! I did not start studying characters until last month (because it seemed like a lot of work), so I was really surprised to find how quickly I could pick up words. I almost didn't use the Glossary at all while reading the second book, because the new words are usually obvious from the context.
Some additional feedback:
1. Please offer versions in traditional characters!
2. Do you plan to release books at a more advanced level? I know there are already some other options out there for this, but many are not available in ebook format, and others sound less interesting than the story ideas being discussed in this thread.
