That's rather cavalier and they probably don't realize that they should look in both the kindle and epub book lists. I've wondered if I could put a stub in the kindle books forum pointing to the epub book with a note saying that they can convert the epub to kindle, but I'm not sure that would fly with the moderators. Then that got me to thinking that mobileread could provide that service (and encourage people to only upload epubs); there are web sites that do conversions and are using calibre on the back end.

For my personal use edits, I tend to follow a selfish pattern of does it work on my Kobo as epub and kepub. For work I'm doing for other people, it's a different matter since I don't have to worry about Amazon sending me KQN notices that my personal use books are poorly formatted, need spell checking, etc. but an author does.
Hmmm.... KQN notices? Isn't KQN Kindle Quality Notice so I'm being redundant? Like the old SUB building at UBC? SUB is student union building.
Though this discussion had me going back to
SlushPile Hell for a quick revisit.
Time to get some sleep. 27 hours is too long.
