I *hate* em-dashes with spaces. I'm not real crazy about en-dashes with spaces either, but it's tolerable.

Seems to me that if Amazon has a problem with em-dashes in their reading engine, said reading engine should get fixed, because an em-dash isn't exactly breaking news. They are in a LOT of books and have been for years and years. And a company in the business of selling ebooks ought to be able to figure out how to handle them with search, IMHO.

Besides, I just tried it with Dapple Gray and didn't notice any particular issue when searching. (KF8)

A lot of the big publishing houses use em-dashes without spaces, and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me.
