Carlo>Jim, none of the submissions that I listed are mine, they have been submitted as PG-RST or PG-TEI master files, from which all the formats have been created by Marcello's software without further manual intervention. Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were the actual submitter of the books in question.
In particular, for RST two different HTML are created in the process, one for browsers and one for epub. So it is unfair to view HTML on a small device.
Actually, what I think is unfair is that PG has told submitters, including me, repeatedly, that the ONLY way that PG allows one to submit EPUB or MOBI is by sending in a generic HTML, but then PG "secretly behind the scenes" allows other people other paths to create customized EPUB and MOBI rather than having to rely on "One Generic HTML For All". Re: the general unfairness of reading HTML on a small device: Have you read the numbers of what people out there in the "real world" are actually doing? They have largely stopped buying desktops. They have largely stopped buying laptops. What they ARE buying are tablets. Those tablets now all come with decent HTML browsers. Many of these customers have no idea what an EPUB or MOBI file is. So they end up reading the books in HTML format. Which looks crappy on their small devices since the authors of that HTML really didn't know what they were doing, or didn't care. Now, is it somehow "unfair" that these customers read that which PG provides on that which the customer actually has in hand? Or is it "unfair" that PG takes books written by good authors, transcribed them incorrectly into bad HTML, and then presents them in a totally scrambled manner on the end user's device? Seems like the people being treated "unfairly" are the original authors, and the PG customers, NOT "PG" !!!
PG doesn't redo routinely all the file generation.
IF PG doesn't routinely redo all file generation, then PG has basically been lying to us submitters about their rationale for restricting our contributions to being "HTML ONLY!" Even IF PG insisted on doing their own gen of EPUB and MOBI, PG could still allow us submitters to also submit EPUB-HTML and MOBI-HTML -- which you point out PG is ALREADY allowing in the "special case" of RST! So why one set of rules for some people and other set of rules for all us others ???
