This is great. Thank you for posting this here. I know that I had a box checked during compile that said "straighten smart quotes." I don't remember if it was checked by default or if I did it though.

I am trying to google some answers, so I don't ask too many here. But I can't figure out what exactly you mean when you say "typographer's quotes." Do you mean that the book would look better if my quotes were curlier? (hence the 'straighten') Is the difference something like this that can be seen or is it just something about the HTML, where my formatting won't look right on certain readers, browsers, etc.?

Thanks again!
