Well, this is very well said, David. Tweets are shorter for sure and, as everyone knows it, the shorter, the better.

Mostly for copyright reasons (life +70), I publish EPUB written by some "turgid" authors. I also must confess that sometimes (always at dark), I read some of them. At least those who share such decadent tastes like me have now a choice. For this reason, I will definitely keep Kobo Patcher on and let you enjoy the long paragraph bug.

Roger
