I'll definitely check out Calibre, thanks.

By the way, thank you for buying the ebook.

I apologize for not including a ToC in the html version. This last week has been kind of complicated and I just didn't get the ToC finished last night when the Dreamsnake page went live. I'll go and do that immediately and let you know when it's finished.

I wonder if Calibre takes account of typography such as 12 point type on a 15 point line? The text in the central thumbnail looks kind of squished together, while the text in the third thumbnail loses the spacing between paragraphs. Neither conversion uses the same font that the CSS specifies (Book Antiqua or Palatino). That's probably system-dependent. I though most systems had Book Antiqua.

And I cannot for the life of me get the .prc conversion to pay attention to the "title" style for "Dreamsnake" at the top of the first page.

I'm under the impression that most folks who read from the computer screen or a mobile device prefer left-justified paragraphs, no paragraph indentation (for the first line), and a blank space between paragraphs?

Is that, in fact, true?

That's how the html is laid out, so I'm a bit distressed that it doesn't come through in the conversions.

Thanks much for the feedback,

Vonda
