I've had some eBooks from Smashwords where things were not all that neat. I like putting in my own embedded font if one is not already embedded. I like not having margins on my reader. It's not as easy as it should be to edit ePub from Smashwords as the code is a mess. I've had an ePub from Smashwords come out with every line underlined. I've had an ePub come out with different fonts as Word sometimes puts in font family codes where they don't belong. Yes, if you follow the style guide, you get some generic eBook. But sometimes it's nice to get something that's not generic and has decent code under the hood. Last edited by JSWolf; 08-25-2011 at 09:38 PM. |

It is because of people like Jon that I learned to let go of my irrational hatred of all things Apple (excluding my IPod because when I bought that I loved it and I am too damn lazy to change music devices).

Well, that certainly is a drawback! I wonder why B&N (PubIt) asks authors if they have worldwide rights during the publishing process then. Oh well.
Where do most buyers outside the U.S. purchase their ePubs? |

If you received this email regarding your order for a Barnes & Noble NOOK Book or NOOK App, please be advised that these purchases are limited to those customers physically located in the United States and Canada. It was based upon my ISP address because I used the USA address we have as our registered office when I uploaded all our company's books to make the account., |

Of course, each author needs to do what is best for them. If Konrath makes 90% of his money from sales at Amazon, then it makes sense for him to focus on Amazon. If you make most of your money from B&N then it makes sense for you to focus on their store and not others.

Life is not always fair.
Geez, why is that so difficult to comprehend? Konrath is free to make his own decisions where he sells his books. |

And Jon is free to whine about said decision.
Many, many, many, many times. |
