sizes, first letter decoration, variation in indentation, image captioning, using colour and inserting video. This give you additional flexibility in the look and feel of your eBook. 3. Be aware that common problems in the eBook conversion process can still occur -- such as first line indents not showing up or line spacing being inconsistent or the mobi file looking different from the ePub file. Vook's design features and additional user controls are welcome and will improve the quality of eBooks for those unfamiliar with sophisticated desktop publishing programs or HTML. Its new feature giving each eBook a dedicated webpage allowing viewers to read the book online is also terrific, but....and this is a big but, it takes too long to actually see your book published when you hit the 'distribute' button on Vook.  With Smashwords, it takes minutes to publish to their site and perhaps a few weeks for their premium distribution (which includes Barnes and Noble and Apple's iBooks). With Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing it takes less than twenty-four hours from when you upload your Word document to when you can see your eBook ready for sale on all Amazon sites. So in this era of wanting digital gratification immediately, waiting two to three weeks seems interminable. But is this a reason to avoid using Vook? Perhaps not, but my initial enthusiasm for the service has been somewhat dampened because my eBook is still in the distribution never-never land, and I don't know when it will emerge. Ben
