Having had a glimpse of your limited-edition handout, which session-goers were kind enough to circulate widely, I’ve seen your proof that Kobo “produces” lousy type and copy. I have two questions: first, did Kobo produce these files or are they only distributing them? It’s possible the publishers created those files. Second, are files distributed by other e-tailers any better? Anyway, my main point in commenting on your remarks about Kobo was that the confrontational tone seemed out of place, when most of BookCamp took a more constructive approach. I guess that’s a matter of personal taste—a subject to which blogs are well suited.

I proved Kobo produces lousy type and copy. (Ask Tamblyn what he told me afterward.) Unlike defenders of Toronto mediocrity, I call out failings. I refuse to call a spade a diamond.
