Guido Henkel. He put up his blog posts about how to DIY for eBooks dog's years ago, and is frequently mentioned as if he's attained god-like status. I've seen any number of things in his blog that are...questionable. But if you post a question, there's no answer.
{shrug}. You know, some folks in my line of work are really good at promotion. Some are good at making books. A rare few (one?) can do both. I'm not good at promotion. Truth be told, I'm probably not a steely-eyed ePUB pilot any longer, either, as the vast bulk of what I do these days is answering emails and doing admin tasks.
