I never thought designing an ePub would be akin to rocket science, but boy what a great divide it can cause. I bought books on how to design ePubs from Amazon. I won't bother to mention the author names, but after having fully consumed those volumes I still wasn't able to produce an ePub that could survive Nook Press's version of a "meatgrinder."

Tex showed me the way, though, and I'm very grateful. So if the worst of his code's shortcomings is the left and right margin settings, I'm good with that. I change two values in the CSS file and that's that.

All I wanted was to remove line spaces between paragraphs. I NEVER thought that could be so hard. Wow.

Thanks to everyone for tolerating my persistence in this thread. I believe we all need to think about how to make this easier. Tex's code is easy to comprehend for me. HE should write a book.
