Thanks, Jon, and Anemic Oak for your to Jon's response. I've just downloaded For the Win.ePub and will have a look at it and its stylesheet later tonight.

I entirely agree with your comment quoted above. Part of my reason for doing the survey is to see if we can get some agreement on what constitutes good style. I have my preferences, you have yours, Fred down the road has his, and Freda next door has hers. Perhaps we can do a bit of giving and taking and get a generally acceptable core.

The other main reason is to get (I hope) ammunition to influence publishers to allow as wide a choice as possible for the style of ebooks. I don't know whether I will like Fontin until I see it, but I can tell you now I really dislike having someone choose my font for me. If the embedded font is applied to the text in the ebook then that will diminish my pleasure in reading it.

Regards, Alex
