There are an unfortunate number of things this could be. In no particular order:
- When you uploaded your book at NookPress, I assume you told it to "use original file," rather than the uploaded "manuscript?" If you didn't, NookPress overrides your stylesheet with their own.
- Were the Nooks at the stores HD's, by any chance? If so, the HD's will override your stylesheet whether you like it or not.
- As someone else said, whether or not the devices in the store were a) set to allow you to select publisher settings or not, can be an issue, or, b) updated with the lastest upgrade, can be an issue.
Lastly, when you talk about "even" verso/recto (left/right) pages in print, that's called "squaring the page." That's achieved through line kerning (adding/removing small spaces between letters, which is changing font-spacing), leading (changing the vertical space between lines), and, if the issue is more than a few words, having the author rewrite/edit. The latter--editing out X characters--is far more common than you think.
Now, that being said, squaring the page isn't as
de rigueur as once it was. It's also utterly impossible in eBooks, and investing a lot of time doing it, particularly just for a single app, is, well...a giant waste of time.
So: any answers for us on 1 or 2, above?
Thanks,
