What she said! I don't actually know whether the deal would be with Baen or with Webscriptions (they are separate companies), but either way it would be a fine way to outsource the bulk of the tech work. And pick up a good-sized audience for SF/Fantasy while they're at it.

On a slightly different note: Does anyone know the right choice of text encoding for the various Hal Spacejock eBooks? When I do a straight-forward conversion with Calibre on my Mac I get a variety of odd characters in the resulting ePub -- a dead giveaway that the original source is in some text encoding other than the Mac standard. But... which one?
