I agree. Last time I tried it, it was causing the chapter header pictures in one of George R R Martin's books to become non-centered for some reason.

Install Sigil and learn it (it's not too difficult IMO). I tweak with Sigil. I run the epub->epub only when I absolutely have to (generally to remove excess blank lines throughout the whole book...normally the result of someone else using Calibre to convert using default settings, honestly).

I voted B&N. Personally I don't buy DRM books very often, but when I do it tends to be for history books for school, and Amazon has some of those in Topaz (can normally figure that out, but it takes effort).

I'd LIKE to vote Smashwords, but I've only bought two books there.
