There are several titles I have not been able to load because they are illustrated or too big. Right now, ebooks I can load on Amazon have a heck of a time loading on Smashwords, and the editor does not support fonts bigger than 14 pt. I don't see how you can make a reader happy that way. When you turn Smashwords into a real ebook distributor I think you will be real competition to Amazon, which is what we all want. Anyway, congrats on the milestone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-42241070911438776912012-07-12T12:01:56.396-07:002012-07-12T12:01:56.396-07:005 Billion.. wow..
