Re: greg, i'm a little disappointed in that response

>Oh, make sure you don't forget to mention that you are operating a web site
dedicated to the Kindle and thus you are not as disinterested as you pretend
to be.

I put up the Kindle website after asking PG for years to start making books
for real ebook readers and not that Plucker crapola or what was it that PG
was fantasizing at the time?  A year or two after I put up my website guess
what PG decided that maybe they *could* offer real ebooks after all. Except
that epubmaker has never gotten there, perhaps because of Marcello's
animosity towards Amazon, and his preference towards Google?

I in turn chose to focus on Kindle *not* because I am some kind of "buddy"
of Amazon (Amazon doesn't like my efforts) but rather because I became sick
and tired of the "Feedbooks" type of approach of pretending to be all things
to all people resulting in books that are dumbed down to the lowest common
denominator -- or below -- rather than trying to retain most of the good
time and effort volunteers have put into coding books.  So I said to myself
"I will do what I can do, rather than pretending to be all things to all
people" [as many on this forum would pretend to be.]

And when PG started offering mobi books I pointed my customers back to this
site, and I created "Magic Catalog" so that people would get their books
from this site, and I linked everywhere to PG and always pointed credit to
PG and told people they should donate to PG not me, etc.  And what in
return?  Answer: PG keeps churning out crappy books which do not have even
the most basic formatting, namely paragraph formatting, working correctly.
And guess what people keep getting books from my site even though I tried to
give them back to PG.  And why?  Because my books work.
