[QUOTE=Hitch;4029745]I have no doubt. I told the customer in question that we warrant our work for the bigger/main devices, not any eReader built by anyone, anyplace, ever and that what they're saying and doing makes NO sense to me.

I mean, okay, you want faux RPNs? In title attributes, or whatever? Sure, we can do that. But VISIBLE bloody page numbers? I can't even tell you how complex this cursed book is to begin with. Trust me, ain't no room for the page numbers to appear, floating off to the right or any-damned-place. We worked on this thing for MONTHS.

And on top of that, this bozo thing that our "pages" (???) don't fit their browser window/page size? Ye GODS. WHAT? What goddamned "page size" are they talking about?

URK.

But the client let you make an eBook that wasn't suitable for their needs. So you basically wasted your time. If the client had told you upfront that they wanted it created for Redshelf, then you could have either done it from the first. It's not your fault the eBook doesn't work. It's Redshelf's for having such a stupid setup.

Their online solution is slow. You get those annoying flashing dots every time you turn the page.

Do you have any way to get the coding needed to make the ePub into an abomination?
