Hi there, nice to meet you all (first post and all that)!
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn't find anything.

I'm having a weird problem trying to get my novel to appear properly in iBooks on my iPad after I've uploaded it to Smashwords. The formatting on every page is fine except on the first 2 pages - the title page and the dedication page. Instead of centring the text it's all left justified (apart from a hyperlink to Smashwords, bizarrely enough).
The thing that's really throwing me is that the formatting appears to be fine in iBooks on my iPhone and when I check on the Adobe Digital Editions reader on my PC.

I've reformatted it many, many times (oh, so very many), I'm using exactly the same styles as I've used elsewhere in the book where they display with no problems. I'm completely stumped.

If you want to see what I mean, this is it:

Use the coupon code CM23Y to get it free unless you really want to pay for it (I don't mind, honest!)

Any ideas, no matter how outlandish, would be very welcome!
