Hmm... I know that manually created books and automatically generated ones are quite different. Feedbooks is somehow in the middle though, because we need to cut the books into parts/chapters/sections.

Is there any way I could make it easier for those of you working on Book Designer to upload the same books on Feedbooks ? We're working on our support for Epub, and we'd like to support Mobipocket next: this could be an easy way for people to select between a non-reflowable format (but with hyphenation and justification) or a reflowable format.

With Epub, we can also provide custom settings like we already do for PDF. It'll be a bit different though. Epub uses CSS, which means that people could swap or create between different templates, and Epub also support embedded fonts (you just add the font in one of the directory of the Epub file).

People spend a lot of time formatting books with Book Designer, and the team and users behind Feedbooks also spend quite a lot of time uploading the exact same books.

There must be a way to a more collective effort...
