I would also like the HTML, but who do I ask?

The one thing that drives me insane and I don't know if it is in the conversion, the original or in BD is FULL JUSTIFICATION.

I hate when I am reading along and all of a sudden half the words are miles apart. For me it just destroys any rhythm I have reading through the book. How can I get BD to left justify without destroying all the other formatting? I tried highlighting the section that bothered me first and then selecting FORMAT->Other Formatting-> Left Justify and it looks OK in BD but when the LRF is made it is still Full Justified.
LRF format doesn't have a setting for justification and the viewer on the Reader supports only full justification.

Now Tor needs to put more books into electronic format. I won't buy pbooks anymore.

I made that point in my email with them. I stated the aim wasn't having it free, per se, but having it in electronic form at all. People will pay for ebooks.

Yes, I know for me personally Tor has a lot of stuff in their catalog I'd love to have as ebooks.

I just hope they (or more importantly the parent company) get the pricing thing right. In the few cases so far where they've put out an ebook of a title so far the pricing is generally very high.

I sent them an email about 26 hours ago-- and just received a personal email from someone at McMillan with a copy of the html version.

Good for Tor.

It also came with an OPF file that let me build a prc very nicely.

Checked my email earlier, and Megan Messinger at TOR thanked me for my input, and included an HTML copy of Mistborn . Need to have the gumption to toss it into LIBPRS.
