Mine was a rhetorical question. PDF's are poor choice as a source for conversion, and that is, IMHO, the major problem with that format. The content is locked in.
The existence of the file in another format is not a guarantee of delivery. Since a PDF version most likely looks better, it is more likely to reach me as an e-mail attachment. Where and how to find ahi's full Giles translation, on the ever-changing web, and in presence of quite a few "Sun Tzu" Google hits?
Although the statement that "proper typography is literally impossible to automate" is correct, I doubt that many of us would trade the flexibility of ePub for a slightly better typesetting.
