Augh! It's a perfectly cromulant punctuation mark!

Ellora's Cave does not take colons in their work.

But how the flaming Sea am I supposed to punctuate this sentence WITHOUT one?
“At the end, let only this be said: that all Ruvane Delkroy did, he did for love of Etarin.”

They despise commas, too. As in, "She nearly shoved the tin at Ryan then skittered back over to her perch on the arm of the couch." To me, it rather needs a comma after "Ryan." To them, "It slows down the eye of an ebook reader." To me, an ebook reader should be treated with the same intelligence as a print reader and the grammar should be the same. ah well.

This ebook reader would be bitching at you for not knowing how to punctuate, and wondering why your editor didn't catch it.

I...am beginning to suspect there's a reason I haven't bought one of their books in ever so long.

But you'll make an exception for ABADDON, right? :)

Only because I have faith in you despite the mental deficiencies shown by EC's editors.

I haven't had any trouble with my commas. That may be an editor thing.
