well, i can understand a desire for that kind of product.
but i have absolutely no interest in making such a thing.
_my_ target is the human reader in the 21st century, so
i see my job as bringing that old p-book into cyberspace.
which can mean making a million little changes, and it's
not a good use of my time to keep track of all of them...
i mean, if you wanted to _pay_ me to do that job for you,
then i might consider it. (or not, since it'd be too boring.)
but i'm certainly not gonna use my volunteer time to do it,
because none of my target (readers) care about that stuff.
so you're just adding (immensely) to the _cost_ of the thing,
without providing any _benefit_ to my audience. so no deal.
