3. validation needs a program on a windows PC--I don't like the need for any computer, I don't like the need for it to be Windows and I really really don't like validation programs. Microsoft LIT taught me not to trust what they may do the the OS itself. The mobi validation (PID's encoded in the file) and ereader/Barnes and Noble validation (name and credit card info embedded in the file) are much more acceptable.
I'm hoping 1 will change. I have reported 2 to Astak who said they will try to have the fix in the next update.
