ok, i sure hope jim swings by today...
oh look, jim _did_ swing by today... and failed to answer any of my questions... jim, your silence is starting to speak volumes. you don't _have_ any answers for me, do you? you're even afraid to give an ok to any of the samples i have showed you, because you have figured out how this story ends for you, right? no more easy dismissal of other people's work as "ugly", and -- even worse -- no more ability for you to throw around your half-baked ideas. anyway, i'm glad you're having fun playing with kindle's .epub converter, even if you _did_ say end-users don't like to have to use converters. so tell me, does that converter allow the person to specify their preferences on the converted file? you know, for justified versus ragged-right, or for block-paragraphs versus indented, or for curly-quotes versus straight, or for em-dashes versus double-dashes, or margins, or fonts, or leading, or any or the other things we mention? or do you just have to settle for whatever you get? yeah, that's what i thought... -bowerbird
