Frustrating!
I'm paying 52 Novels (JA Konrath's formatter) to take my ePUB and get me a word doc that I can upload to Smashwords because I want a "perfect" conversion (i.e., I want the Smashwords ePUB to match my initial PUB exactly), but even 52 Novels can't promise me that -- they can just promise close enough.
52 Novels is also doing my CreateSpace word doc because they have their OWN conversion process. At least in the case of CreateSpace, since it's a physical book, that makes a modicum of sense. *sigh*
Feedbooks actually expects you to write your novel (or copy and paste it) into their web browser directly. No. Just... no.

You should be kidding.
Calibre should make a (paid?) upgrade function for author tools...it would probably put the rest of these conversion companies out of business...
