Re: Upwards thumb

I use the epub editor a lot. Even newly published ebooks often seem to come with weird problems. Often they'll set a page margin in the CSS that results in the book only using the centre 80% of the screen on my eReader. Sometimes all the text is split across just a few html files, and I prefer to split each chapter into it's own file for quicker loading/seeking.

It's also forced me to learn a lot of regex techniques so I can really make use of the find/replace function which was an unexpected bonus.
