Either way, I understand your points and how it can get infuriating when new formatters charge a ton of cash to indie authors for their ebooks. We're just trying to protect the author and other clients from losing money. I understand that fully.

Of course, I tell a client when I don't know how to do something and when an error comes up and I don't know how to fix, that's ethics 101 on my books. I'd rather say what I know rather than make a fool out of myself. So that's why I ask questions. Thaaaat's all.

So that's that! I'm sure on the next round would be loads smoother!
Thanks again for all the honest advice!

I am VERY happy to hear all of that. It's..it's just endlessly frustratign to me, when I see book after book here, from clients that have been "taken" (and not in that cool-beans Liam Neeson way, either...) by folks who either mean well, and just don't know WTH they are doing, or those who know that they don't know, and just don't care. Makes staying cheery a challenge, sometimes.

I'm glad that you have the integrity to tell folks what you don't know. To me, that makes ALL the difference. Sorry if I was..ultra-cranky.

Pax.
