Thank You, this is certainly along the lines of what I was thinking, but I know next to nothing about these issues. I occasionally open an ePub with the editor that is include with Calibre and tinker with it a bit, but I'm really just flailing around...

The older thread IS useful -- I searched for something like that, but the terms I used didn't turn it up.

Actually, if anyone can suggest a good tutorial for ePub formatting and styling, for someone who doesn't even have many html skills, I'd appreciate that, too!

Thanks to all who have shared suggestions so far!
