Well, and hmmmm:
I used to be the number one producer of ebooks here on MobileRead. It's quite simple to take (for example) a text formatted by Word (again, as an example), run it through BookDesigner or calibre and come out with a very attractive book (in my opinion). I've gotten many compliments and thanks for the books I've made available here on MobileRead, when this website was a year younger and there was a more contemplative nature to the posts.
Of course, I can empathize with you on the desire to produce the very best books possible; but, as I've just pointed out, producing attractive books is a labor of love, dedication, and a desire to not have a life.
