Re: Would like your feedback on free ePub edition of 'My Antonia'

My two cents:

 - The file is crashing Stanza on the iPhone, about half of the time.

 - Footnotes could be better handled, right now there is a footnote that 
has been give a page "Author's Note" but no-one has any idea where it s 
coming from, and specifically there is no link  in the real place - 
first page of the Book I.

 - The original book has text justification on the right which has been 
lost in this edition

 - The beginning of each Book, in the original edition is in Small Caps 
and you have shows up in fake small caps in Stanza (when it opens), same 
in EPubReader and nothing on Adobe DE.
