Okay, this is me kvetching as a reader.

I HATE the W&O feature in KFX. HATE IT. I am constantly thinking that I'm at the end of a chapter or section and then I find out I'm not. I'm continually seeing surprisingly short pages--not merely missing a single line of text. it's as though W&O is being used to move entire paragraphs across, not merely a single line.

Hate it, hate it, hate it. Seeing this a lot with what I believe are whats-its books, oh, right, Vellum, that Mac app that has the CSS longer than the Oregon Trail. Really annoying to me, as a reader.

As a bookmaker, of course, the customer is always right (sigh), but I will tell people not to lose their minds over it. Somehow, for the last decade-plus, we've all survived W&O and not been slayed by them.
