Hi. Ok. I am trying to get my mind around all of this.
The obvious answer to me seems to be the publisher--that is their job. The author writes the book and the publisher publishes: makes it available to the public including editing, typesetting, marketing, etc. Put it that way and the "big publishers" could really make a name for having the best, cleanest, easiest read ebook conversions. I would be willing to pay well for that.
But then Anamadoll threw a thought in that I don't understand. Doesn't epub = epub no matter where it is sold? Why should the epubs of smashwords be different? I guess I am completely confused now. I guess I just assumed that the data file/ebook would be offered to be sold through a third party and they would not touch the file if not necessary.
confused.
