It's a tedious job when you're talking about so many titles, but well worth getting it spot on ... and, my experience so far, is that there's no shortage of generous and sound advice from the Smashwords team.

Could you give us some specifics? Are you automating the process? What formats are you converting? I assume you are putting everything into Word format, no?

Thanks!
