Smashwords EPUB is ready!

First it bounced because my spine Book Name was going to overflow the spine. The thing is, it wouldn’t if you could select a printed book in the size of a normal Pocketbook paperback.
A normal paperback that we’re most familiar with is 4.25″ wide, by 6.88″ tall. I’ve read that it originat...
