Oddly, the majority of the crap ePubs that I have been exposed to have come from illicit sites. For some reason, people seem to feel that any ePubs that they download for free are public domain so it is okay to send me a copy to take a look at. A bit strangely, 9 out of 10 ebooks that I've been sent have included a copyright page with many decades to go before the ebook would enter public domain.
Up to now, I convert epub to mobi and back to epub. To remove gremlins that can upset an e-reader. I have been advised this is not the way to go. I don't care about losing advanced formatting for simple novels, but I would like to try kepubs.
