It would be nice if Smashwords would let writers who want to spend the time making their books look the best bypass their auto conversion meat grinder.
As for what readers think about chapter/page breaks...

Okay, I've just downloaded Calibre, and had a look at the mobi version of my ebook - and it's not ideal, as far as I'm concerned. The biggest problem, as far as I can see, is that it has not translated any centred text - which would make the whole thing appear a whole lot better in terms of chapter numbers etc. It's a bit disappointing, TBH.
Oh, regarding chapter breaks - a quick glance at my original manuscript shows that I DID include breaks ... but the Smashwords software didn't translate them. Hm!
Just out of interest - does your Kindle read any other epublishing formats? I'd like to see if any of these might look better on the device.
Thanks for your help, by the way.
