Just noticed the last comment was removed (probably because it was posted when Cory was away so the new version wasn't available).
The latest download has a better font and works fine.

It works for me, but I agree about the font. I'll try again later and send Cory a new copy.
I purposely left off the cover though, as per Cory's instructions.

File seems bad.

Missing book cover, total page numbers don't work (stuck at 21), bad font/encoding as well.

The person who converted the 'Eastern Standard Tribe' Microsoft Reader LIT book was great, but this one seems horrible.

I am using Camino 0.84 on OS X and found that I needed to use wget to get a copy of the file that wasn't corrupted.
