I've been following Anthologize since its inception and have been testing and revising it with an eye for trade book formatting (authors using their websites to create and format their books). I think with the .75 release, this plugin is approaching that ideal.

The first thing to making this a viable product is going to be the ability to produce a mobi formatted book, so this Issue is to address that.

Yes, this is a good idea. More on the mobi format:

Well, Kindle is the primary distribution channel for nearly everything ebook, these days. Even for those distributing a book for free to be reviewed, the Kindle (mobi) version is, by far, the most downloaded (usually upward of 70%), because so many have Kindles and Amazon makes it fairly easy to upload digital copies.

The last ARC reader push I did for Wonderment Media was 117 Mobi downloads, 40 ePub, and 27 pdf -- and that ratio is pretty average (I've pushed out 5 ARC copy rounds this last month).

Thanks for the figures. As noted, I agree that it's important.
