Whoaa there,....I'd prefer it if you would 'mitigate' before assuming.
It's that I've gotten accustomed to your way of putting things sometimes
but otherwise I would feel a tad toe-stepped for being assumed to be 'abnormal'
If I can avoid it I never read anthologies. Besides that, I am a heavy FeedBooks reader, and most all of the short stories are published there as separate downloads. It's only in rare cases that I download an anthology. The exceptions being mostly if it is a collection from the same author and preferably dealing with the same main characters. e.g. Max Carrados, Sherlock Holmes.
And another thing, in all that time I've been downloading heaps of short stories from FeedBooks, and other sources, I have not once ever needed to change the font settings on Stanza because of the way a book was put together. In that respect, Stanza is truly a 'set once and never look back' e-Reader
PS. On a sidenote, stop knocking MS Word. It may have a bad rep about all of the junk code it puts in HTML but that is mostly because folks don't know what to use else for HTML (not everyone codes in notepad) Plus that you have an option in MS Word to save html files in a clean format with most all of the 'junk' filtered out, the only bothersome thing that it still maintains is assigning the base font inline to every paragraph, sentence and headers used in your document if you use multiple font faces. To see how well such files get converted to ePub just take a look at the example that the Calibre author put together. Heck, in most cases it comes out even better than some of the 'books' you can download from Project Gutenberg
