Currently we use something similar to BBCode in our database for bold ([ b ] and [/ b ]). We'll never do something such as full bold books for the templates that are available and cached but we might add it as an option for custom PDF files.

I also had a problem adding text.For example, I had finished a chapter, clicked ok, it was saving. I moved on after it was taking a while and when I checked a few chapters later, it was still 'saving'. I had that happen once. I don't think I did anything different then I did before or after that. It may have just been a net error of some sort, but I thought I'd mention it regardless.

I love the site and plan to help build it up as much as I can. Thank you so much for this service.

You did a great job with these 3 books, I just previewed them and now they're available to everyone.
I'm not satisfied too by the interface for the editing, although all this Ajax/Prototype makes it more intuitive than most websites filled with forms, I believe that we can really improve the whole thing, make it better looking and a bit more user friendly.
As for the order of those elements, a bit of drag & drop may do the trick...
We're trying not to add too many clickable elements on this page and rely instead on BBcode like features for more advances usage (I'll post a full list of these later...).
Well, I'm glad you loved the website overall, we'll be adding more and more features in the coming weeks/months.
