[McManly]

That dinner lasted a bit longer than expected, sorry--and then I went out to sieve up some very tiny rabbit bones, about 3 mm long, too small to have been picked up in a quick grab that we made last week. Yeah, I have weird hobbies, but this is for an educational display.

Back to my vague "looks fine" for the HTML, what Sigil actually says is that "This EPUB has HTML that are [is??--that's what I noted down] well-formed". It then offers to automatically fix it, so I agree to let it do so.

I am in a bit of a bind, so far as using or not using Word 2003, because as I said, i am getting on, and want to get this stuff out of my files and available for use before I get too old altogether, or cease getting older at all.

The solution is to move blocks of text to Notepad or whatever, clean them up there before transferring them to Sigil or something to format them efficiently. I note the comment about Composer, and will look into that, many thanks there.

Giong off-topic. I notice, Faterson, that you are in Bratislava. I almost made it there five years ago, but we had to abort our trip in Vienna as a family member got ill suddenly. I have had one book translated into your language (do we say Slovak or Slovakian?). It was a small release translation through Eastone Books, 'Zabijacka Fazul'a a Calabaru'--a cheery history of poisons and poisoners.

Back on topic, I mis-stated my concern about fonts. As an old teacher, I know that the general opinion in Australia, is that sanserif is easier to read but I'm not fussed. I am fussed by the default (and apparently only) font in eBook, which is one of my best three readers. Because of my special formatting needs, I will need to recommend a reader or several readers, and I wonder how many potential buyers will shy off if they can't get a free e-reader?
