I'll be honest, I wasn't too keen on the idea of using a Word document, but it has its advantages. By reading the Word style sheet data, the meatgrinder is able to quickly and effectively generate a functional document. It might not be pretty under the hood, but it works.
Functional and worth buying are two different things. The code being that bad is why I don't buy from Smashwords. I just wish I could return any Smashwords eBooks I accidentally bought via other sites that don't say these atrocities came from Smashwords. I do sometimes tweak the ePub I buy and I don't like doing so with MS Word converted ePub. It's just wrong.
