I submitted this book. I really am not sure what you
are talking about. On my screen there isn't a problem
with breaks or short spacing. Each paragraph is
separated with a space instead of indenting...Is that
a problem? The majority of books that I have
downloaded has this format...I submitted it in
RTF...Should I be doing something differently???
