I'm just wondering why many of the free books downloaded from Amazon are so very bad. I did not expect that, and hope that paid books wil be -way- better.
Maybe some came from Smashwords. The meatgrinder there is atrocious. Maybe some came from PDF. PDF is really poor for a source format.
Maybe some were converted from a Word document. That can make some poorly formatted eBooks. and given that you can't edit Mobipocket after it is created, they just let it be.

There are my guesses.
