free preview and improved signup process
There have been a few changes to the eBook preview and account signup process.
All features of Pro Accounts are now enabled for all users during the eBook preview phase. This enables new users to easily preview all of the Zinepal features, without having to first sign up for a free month of Pro Account usage. To enable this new preview functionality all PDFs generated during the eBook preview phase have a "preview" watermark. The watermark is visible on all pages of the PDF and is only removed once the eBook is finalized.
The purchase of Pro Accounts has also been integrated into the eBook creation process. Once a user chooses to finalize their eBook they have the option to directly purchase a Pro Account and use all of the Zinepal features; or they can continue to create a free eBook with only the basic Zinepal features. Because of this the first month of free Pro Account usage has been removed for new users. This is no longer needed since the preview functionality now includes all of the Pro Account features.
I hope these changes will make it easier for new users to try out Zinepal. If you have any feedback please write it in the comments!
