This is off-topic to this thread, but needs to be said somwhere.

Maybe instead of plastering your one man anti-calibre diatride crusade all over the place, you can provide specific examples of books that do not convert properly so that bugs can be fixed? I can assure you, that of the hundreds of books I've converted through Calibre, I've always ended up with fixing problems, not creating them. Certainly that's a better track record than encouraging non web design folk to open and edit CSS files. That's not to say that a book that doesn't work doesn't exist, and might need to be reverted, but a big no-no?

I've noticed that your haughty tone in posting often overshadows the value of your message.
