blue plate special coming right up

next up, we have a "list of the plates", hotlinked.

this is really nice. people like to look at pictures,
and this gives them a fairly easy way to do that...

so bonus points here for convenience for the user.

unfortunately, before i can even add in the bonus,
i will have to subtract points for some major flaws.

first up, we have the chapter starting mid-screen.
this is very bad, and serves as a frightening omen.

moreover, the chapter-title isn't made prominent.
it's not in bigger type. it's not bold. not centered.
none of the trappings that would mark it as a title
have been included here. again, this is a big flaw.

meanwhile, as before, "chapter" is all-caps. ugly.

but then, these problems are compounded further.

we see the postprocessor tried to "get fancy" here,
and installed a drop-cap. yes, it's very "decorative",
but .mobi doesn't handle images very well right now,
so the drop-cap -- the letter "a" -- goes on one line,
and the rest of the word/sentence continues below.

so instead of starting with "alice was beginning to",
the line now says "lice was beginning to", and i don't
think lice is something the reader should conjure
at this point in time, right at the start of this story...

alice has quite beautiful hair, and we don't want to
have to wonder if she's been infested with head-lice.
that's not what the "wonder" in wonderland is about.
