The formatting leaves a bit to be desired - the result of it having to go through their automatic conversion routine, which still needs a bit of work, IMO.

The HTML, PDF, and ePub aren't too bad. The LRF is not optimal - page breaks after the chapter headings. The Mobi is very bad - no images at all!

But, it's done. Hopefully eventually Smashwords will have either much improved conversion, or a way to tweak the results of the conversion.

I have a /beautiful/ epub version - but it'll have to wait until the weekend to go up at my site.

I'm not sure it's worth doing a PDF version at Lulu - the PDF at Smashwords is pretty good. My own is better of course! What do people think?

Oh - and a link! You can get 50% samples for free, so you can see how the formatting looks in the various versions.

I checked out the sample at smashwords... If you think the one at your site is better looking, I'll wait and buy off your site....
