My Chaos books have a lot of funny formatting (as you know, Jon, since you worked on them). So far, they've come out of the Smashwords conversion system looking great in epub. I think that's because I assiduously followed the style guide with respect to Word styles and other things that can cause problems. They also say that they recently upgraded the "Meatgrinder," so maybe that's part of it, too.

But the ability to easily upload corrections and tweaks on SW is something I haven't seen in other systems. Kindle store isn't bad, but SW is better.
