    This is awesome. Thank you so much for this.

    I read the sample PDF on my iPhone and loved it, but I found myself wishing for an ePub version with variable line width, which is more legible and convenient. I came here to ask for one and found that you have it already.

    DRM free ePub is the future of ebooks. You’re setting a great example for the industry, and I hope that every other publisher follows your lead.

    Some feedback after purchasing and transferring: the ebook is excellent, and the story is rich and thought provoking. Minor problem: the cover image isn’t displayed as a thumbnail in Stanza, which looks out of place among nice ebooks from places like feedbooks.com. That’s the only thing that needs fixing.
