I think readers do like "pretty." Especially if they're women. :) Thanks for the comment, Michael; and welcome to the blog!Jo Michaelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02005237887461809640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-17079148928325931482013-08-14T15:53:20.853-04:002013-08-14T15:53:20.853-04:00I like the idea of reiterating cover type in chapt...I like the idea of reiterating cover type in chapter openings. I've done it myself a few times but I can't help feeling that this is something that readers won't notice and only other book makers will care about.<br /><br />I spend a lot of time massaging each pbook paragraph. I adjust wordspacing, add, remove and change words if necessary, and kill widows and orphans.<br /><br />But will readers -- especially those who have become accustomed to crappy ebook typography -- appreciate the work that goes into a pretty page? I think not.<br /><br />http://www.BookMakingBlog.com<br />http://www.CreateBetterBooks.com Michael N.
