Thanks. It'll be a while before I could check for myself.

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.

I would 100% stay away from him. He sounds insane. To be honest, it doesn't matter how eBooks are made as long as the code is neat and the formatting is good.

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...

All three versions look good. You do change how you do things (for the better) but when you did them back then, you still got them to look good. I have eBooks I've modified that I'd look at now and cringe. The formatting is fine. The code, not as fine.

Curiously enough, crappy marketer that I am, I don't even have those screenshots up on our Samples page. {sigh}.

So get them up on your spiffy new website. They should be there to showcase what you can do with the same book on different platforms.
