Hello Charlie,

NST = Nook Simple Touch. I will describe what I see on the Nook here and I will look at the file with the calibre reader on my PC this evening and post again with specifics.

On the Nook I tend to use a large font, so the indented chapter headings (from the sayings of...) tend to get pushed far to the right of the display, some even limited to two letters, like this:

Fr
om
T
he

etc.

The problem is not so pronounced when I use the publisher default font, but the quote attribution still gets squeezed to about five or six characters width.

The TOC goes from chapter LXXXIX to XCI, skipping XC, and missing chapters XCII through XCVI completely. (But I do love those Roman numerals, especially in a Roman-era story!)

The endnotes get offset by one at some point in the file. For example, the link from endnote 80 brings you back to the text at a Latin quotation, which is clearly being translated in endnote 79.

But I'm not complaining! This is a terrifically large ebook and I'm grateful to have these stories. If I can help you polish up in any way I'd be happy to do so.

P.S. Chapters and endnotes have the same issues in calibre's eBook reader. The quotes at the beginning of chapters look better (but everything looks better in caliber on a PC monitor).
