First of all the word is Write not right. If I went on a site and saw misspellings in the FAQ about what I would get for my money I'd have some reservations about the site right then. The first impression that I as a customer would get might make or break my enthusiasm for the site just as if I were to go into a physical store and see that the public restrooms were dirty. I'd wonder if the restroom was dirty if the customer service would be what it should be etc. As far as working on all devices do you mean you would have different formats or that you would provide only basic text files? Most Ereaders seem to be able to handle plain text, but not all readers seem to be able to handle the same formats other than that. For example (if I remember right) the Kindle can't read epub books. It's the fact that not all ereaders can read the same formats that results in a lot of sites having the same book for sale in different formats. Usually its things like HTML, LIT, Mobi, and PDF documents, and there are the epubs and other formats I'm sure as well.
