One area that did take a bit of time in the formatting was the conversion of the PG practice of indicating the italics by placing an underscore before and after the letters that are to be in italic. For example, "_Fire!_" is the PG way of formatting "Fire!" I notice that all of the italics were missing in the FeedBook version. Also, the PDF method does not provide font choices as the LRF versions do.

Now all I need to do is to find a good cover image for the book. This may take longer than the book formatting itself.
You're right, we should add this. Actually we're using BBCode for the formatting, just like you did in this post, but we could actually support both. This way the PG formatting would be transformed into italics in the PDF. Oh and the PDF does provide font choices, what it doesn't provide is a way to change the size once you've generated the file.
