I just downloaded In Other Worlds and it is a horribly made ePub. It won't work in most devices as it is one HTML of about 932KB in size. There is no CSS as this looks like it was pulled out of a Mobi version. Every line has styles. There is no CSS. I'm wondering if this is indicative of the quality of the eBooks they sell.

The best way to deal with this is to convert it to ePub in Calibre and load it into Sigil to fix it up from there.

I will be contacting Phoenix Pick to tell them of the problems with this eBook. I suggest everyone do the same.
