However, it is your choice.
Thanks for the suggestions. I already have what seems to be a perfect ePub, but Smashwords insists on meatgrinding out their own. There are other silly idiosyncracies in the system. I think I don't want to spend any more of my valuable time on waiting for something to give in. Smashwords might be God-sent to some people who want to see their book published on the Internet. I need to be selling the book, not playing with it. And I've already been selling it. It's just not happening, and apparently won't be, on Smashwords.
