...Interesting. I think I do a terrible job of formatting, but then I hadn't heard anyone complain (yet) from my attempts with Got Poe.

For the most part, I've left everything in Scrivener standard MS format, exported to M$, ran it thru the Lit conversion then used Calibre to make real digital files from the Lit source. I'll have to check out your (wife's?) book to see what "good formatting" really is. I think typesetting is an invisible art.

Well, with the exception of the ePubs at SmashWords. Even I know they're badly formatted.
