No question--though those authors have other ways to get their craft-brewed epubs on the market. And yes, the handmade version of Sunborn was lovely--though I learned later that it had some coding issues that caused display problems in some readers. I didn't use it because of that, and because it had very nice design elements that were a reproduction of the Tor paper book. I couldn't use that for my world edition because it was Tor's design. (It was okay when I was giving away copies, to promote the Tor book.)

If handmade epubs are craft brew, then SW is Budweiser. The first is a lot better, but there's a place for both.
