How to enter book title and subtitle when publishing at Smashwords
The Smashwords page for publishing a new book includes a single text entry field, named Title, for entering the title. How should this piece of metadata be entered in the Title field for books that have both a title and a subtitle, such as "My Great Masterpicece [title] - The Greatest Story Ever Told [subtitle]"? "Title, Subtitle"? "Title - Subtitle"? Something else?

I'd use Title- Subtitle, but that's just personal preference. Title: Subtitle can lead to "colon" cancer.

I asked Smashwords, and they suggest "Title - Subtitle".
