Yeah, embedded font rejection by Apple

That is absolutely outrageous!

No more outrageous than making my clients pay 50-55% of their royalties to "authorized publishers" because neither they nor I have Macs. So they lose 20-30% of their income, JUST BECAUSE they don't have Macs. I made an inquiry to Libre Digest for a client a MONTH ago (they only suck 55% of your royalties), for Apple exposure, and their rep has *still* not returned my contact efforts (two phone calls and 5 emails), even though my client is a royalties-paid author with TEN books to his credit. Kobo is no better, %-wise.

It's really, really, really outrageous. AT least with Kindle an author can upload his own content and not be forced to deal with a royalty-vampire for NO fracking reason.
