About format quality - I got so many different mistakes that it is easier to add txt file to the book record.

For example (all concerning mobi or prc)
- some places/chapters are indented
- indent too big (for my small screen)
- headings not centered
- * * * not centered
- should be empty row (like between chapters)
- paragraphs missing
- paragraphs in places where they should not be (middle of sentence)
- no italics
- no empty place between some words
- too much ads and stuff before actual book starts
- typos

Just some that came easily to mind. Most of them I will not know about before reading the converted book. And if I don't note them while reading, I'll probably forget something.

Also I can use txt file for notes about what steps I took and how successful I was. So Quality=4 says to me 'some minor things I couldn't fix', clicking on txt gives more detailed info. If I decide to cut things like "CO<sub><span style="font-size:xx-small">2</span></sub>" in favor of "CO<sub>2</sub>", I'll make note of it - just in case I want to change it back in the far future.
