Their books have no css and I cannot read this one in Mantano because I can't even increase the font enough for me to read. I can't change the font in Mantano either. Also, what is the reason that the word "whereabouts" is split into three sections here? I can't see a difference in formatting, but maybe someone else can. To me that is even worse than having no css.

This is a portion of the html:
They used to use something called Aspose.Words for .NET which did a terrible job, no working CSS and fixed point sizes for all text.

In fairness to them their newer stuff is better formatted, I wish they would update the old stuff as well though (The old stuff tends to be what they give as freebies).
Bit of a pain to sort in sigil, so I only tend to get their monthly deals if they really interest me now.
