Smashwords to Start Accepting More eBook Formats in 2012

Mark Coker, founder and CEO of the Smashwords self-pub service, announced earlier this week that Smashwords would soon offer authors a new submission option.

Smashwords is well known for Meatgrinder, its automated conversion platform. Meatgrinder is the reason why Smashwords can sell ebooks in many formats, including everyhting from HTML, RTF, and DOC to Epub and Kindle.

But one problem with Meatgrinder is that it doesn’t offer  output that satisfies ebook design pros, many of whom think that (compared to making an eBook from scratch) it’s not easy to control the quality of the output.
