Looks great!

One note - I happened to have my screen quite narrow when I opened it and as the menu-bar wrapped around it obscured the "Import Chapter from Url" button. The introductory guide pointed to where it thought the button should be but it was just highlighting a corner of the "Feedback and Support" button.

This looks like a nice service. I could see myself using it. One thing I noticed on the front page is that you do strange things with punctuation. Examples: "Import the contents from the web . Convert your blog to a book in one click." Notice the space before the first period. "Papyrus lets you create books in pdf,epub,kindle formats." No spaces after commas and no 'and' before 'kindle'.

Thanks for the feedback. Will fix it soon.

It's black and white and red all over. Please tell me you deliberately chose that color scheme for that reason. You'd be my hero if you did.

To be honest, I am not a designer myself.Experimented with a few colors, this looked decent and pushed it.

Oh no, I wasn't commenting on the design really. I think the design is just fine. I was referring to the joke that a comment above me refers to.

"What's black and white and red all over" A newspaper. It's a play on words where "red" is supposed to be "read". I thought maybe you had that in mind when you chose the colors. It would be really clever and funny if you did. If anyone ever asks you that you should totally tell them yes. I bet they'd get a kick out of that.
