What I find most interesting in this discussion is that so far no single person _knowingly_ tried reading the ePub file on any ebook device. Which kind of defeats the point of creating ePub, no? Well, I tried it on a Nook Simple Touch. - The cover could use less gradients. - Starting with "Using Scribus" paragraphs lose leading and paragraph-spacing. - "New Document" section start with a screenshot (which is wrong itself) which doesn't fit the typical 600px ebook reader width, and the consecutive paragraph has no before-spacing - "Here to the right we see an example of a Double Sided display..." - this part where screenshot is right aligned in the paragraph looks horrible on the device, and after that paragraph leading and spacing is lost again. - "Page Size" starts with a screenshot again, and the text doesn't flow around it at all. I could go on. Should I? Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org
