FWIW, I hate Smashwords because I hate the meatgrinder.
I'm a B&N buyer first, Amazon second, anything-Smashwords-outletted as a distant third.
When I publish my book next year, I'm just going to plunk down the money to hire a Smashwords formatter. I hate the waste, but I know I don't have the patience to deal with their chatty blah-blah-blah style guide. I read it once and wanted to throw my reader at the wall -- if I wrote my professional user manuals that I write at work like that, I'd be fired in two seconds, and good riddance.
See? I'm already getting worked up. Deep breaths, Ana, deep breaths.
