I steer clear of Smashwords and pretty much only buy from Amazon now.
To me Smashwords is a distribution hub and I expect zero sales direct from their website. I do want to thank you for singling out my book there, I do hope you enjoyed the tale and pick up the next in the fairy tale series.

I do believe I said I've had zero problems getting my work through Meatgrinder. What comes out the other end is down to the conversion software, not me. Every ePub I've got back has got the green check mark from the preflight check, and comes out the way I put it it, so I must be doing something right.

Lucky for you all my work is available on the Kindle too

Anyhow, what color do you read your books in? Plus there is no such thing as hard coding given the open nature of an ePub you can go in and easily change the colors.
