I'll ask Barb, here in the office. She's our resident Kobo expert. (n.b.: she's not actually "in" the office right HERE. She's in our Toronto office. Yup, that's us, an International Megalopoly.)

Gotta love the idiots who think they know it all and that one piece of information they don't know is what screws them up big time.

That "guy" is really vicious. I seriously don't know what's wrong with him. I wrote to ECR and told them that I was done posting at those forums, because a) I'd lived up to what they'd asked--that I post helpful tidbits, 4 years ago, and b) that guy is loony. And a bit scary, were I the kind of person who gets scared in that sense. He posted this
incredibly long thread, full of images of "how great Jutoh is," with this ranting diatribe about how BAD Sigil is and how "real" ebookmakers don't use it, etc. He also called me a liar for saying we make books in code, and that only "idiots and liars" do that. I mean, it was
beyond vitriolic. I don't get it: what does HE care about how we make books? if we're losing money, because I'm "an idiot" to code in HTML by hand, why should he care? Anyway, enough of that s**t, really. The net is just a barrel full of insane monkeys.

Very nice! iBooks can have some very nice looking eBooks if you don't mind that it won't look the same in any other program. The non-iBooks versions are well done too considering you cannot get the exact same look.

Well, Jon, that's quite decent of you. ;-) I'm rather proud of those, (the reflowable ones at Amazon and Nook, et al), although from a technological standpoint, we've done far harder. But those are quite pretty and more importantly, the client was DELIGHTED. (Always good!). There is probably code in them that would make my eye do the eyebrow-up-scrunched-other-eye thing, if I looked closely at them again, but...
Curiously enough, crappy marketer that I am, I don't even have those screenshots up on our Samples page. {sigh}.
