Your post is offensive to me, and I don't even write books.
P.S. In answer to the OP's question, I think a lot of people would read your book if you offered if for free - if it's in their preferable genre.

Agreed... unfair! The worst formatting I've seen so far on my Sony has been for full-price or library books from mainstream publishers. I don't know if the problem is with PDF handling or something else, but all the dialog is all smashed together and I have to try to figure out who's saying what from context.
Like this:
"Do you know what I just saw?" "What?" "Bob was mowing his lawn!" "Why would he do that?" "I don't know... it's winter!"
Ok, that was a very simplified example. It gets much harder to parse on an actual mystery/thriller-type novel. And I can't re-format them because of the DRM! Very annoying.
Nomesque: I downloaded your book a while back and it's another one that I haven't gotten to read yet! Can't wait!
