Hey that was interesting, and we're having trouble ourselves in the conversion to ebook formats (mobipocket only for the moment, epub and PDF will come soon) because we can't select indents, or spaces between paragraphs (you know when you have a time lapse you usually give space between paragraphs bigger, etc). Well it's an adventure and we've got to learn.
About the drm (zelda_pinwheel), well. I tried my best to convince partners, but the decision it's not on me. It depends on other people. Thanks for the links I'll look at them when I have a little of time this weekend
Thanks everybody.
