Anyway, given that I'm about to throw in the towel here, I do have one question: How come some books DO have proper formatting? Are those just accidents? I'm beginning to think they are, except the Big 6 do seem to know something we don't, because every Big 6 book on the Nook I have doesn't have spurious line breaks.

Greg:

Generally, the answer is the simplicity of the formatting, or whether or not (like Amazon's "White Glove" service) they had B&N do the formatting *for* them. Many use a simple, default CSS. I wish I could assist you more, but I can't answer the "inner workings" of B&N's mind, it's too murky in there.

BTW, you have zero obligation to "give" your books away on KDP Select, you know that, right?

P.S.: are you still trying to use W&O?
