If the down-converted book has the same display problems that the author has reported, you'd know for sure that it must have been down-converted by someone or something.
And if the SmashWords people didn't molest the book the evil empire that is Apple must have done something horrible to your poor book.

I agree, 100%. For the life of me, at this point, I'm thinking what Tox is thinking, below--some idiot opened it on the wrong program. I'll try the Calibre forced-convert, but...oh. I wonder--
I wonder if someone downloaded it TO Calibre???? Or to a Calibre cloud, and from thence to their i-whatever?

Yup. That's my thinking, too.
I simply don't see any diffs. I've perused the OPF, they both say package 3.0...damn it all to hell. (Thanks for the image. GREATLY appreciated.)

This is where I'm leaning, at this point. Someone bought it on iBooks, and then downloaded it...you know, given the Apple-verse, that sounds nuts, too. And it wasn't bought on Smashwords, we know that. See, if they'd purchased it on SW, that would make sense--download and put it on some Android tablet with some bonko reading software. But in the Appleverse? How likely is that? Seriously, gang, I'm asking.
How likely is that?
