  1. How do I know you won't steal my book? (phrased less bluntly, but...), and,
  2. Are you using Calibre to make my book?

...to which I answer "no" to the latter and try not to strangle someone for the former. (No, we don't have TIME to read these to even know which would be worth stealing, if we were dishonest!) The stealing question always gets my hackles up, but I understand why they ask the first question--they want to know that they're getting what they pay for, hand-crafted ePUBs, basically.

Hell. I don't know, it certainly would be fast. ;-)

To me it makes no sense. I've been using the font subsetting in Calibre and it works well. I don't see any reason not to use it. The answer to #2 would be... "We are just using Calibre to subset the embedded fonts. Calibre is not used for any sort of conversion."
