Yes, I recently discovered that the auto stripper pretty much destroyed my
first accepted submission.
I understand the reason for getting rid of the headers, but when it gets rid
of critical information like Chapter zzz or something, sometimes it is hard
to realize that you are in fact in a new chapter (I have also noticed this
with books I've downloaded).
While going back and fixing the messed up titles would be a long and
tiresome, not to mention cumbersome process, I believe that we need to get
this problem resolved so that all new submissions are of a better quality.
So, would it be a good idea for me to strip the headers in books before I
submit them now?
Thanks,
Jake Brownell
