I have a Kobo reader, which has a problem with some epub files: the type comes out really teeny-tiny and can't be enlarged. The books are literally unreadable. The files can be fixed but that's a pia.

I was going to upload my book to Smashwords, but they only accept Word ".doc" files. I was able to create an epub file that works perfectly on the Kobo, with a clickable table of contents, but Smashwords' "Meatgrinder" formating software won't accept a raw epub file (created with Calibre).

So I either upload a file that won't work on the Kobo, or I don't upload anything. Right now I'm opting for not uploading anything, because I can't see charging people for a book that won't work on what I believe is going to be a major reading device.

Either Smashwords or Kobo needs to upgrade their software. If Smashwords lets me upload a raw epub file that works on Kobo, I'll do it; if Kobo upgrades their firmware to properly read all epub files, I'll do it.

But right now, Smashwords isn't an option.
