The real frustrating part is the people who don't want to spend any money to convert these backlist books are the ones screaming the loudest over piracy. "It's not worth anything, but you can't have it." mentality...
And who said anything about doom... also love your selective quote ignoring the key point as to numbers of people required and where do they materialise from... or do you want to settle for anyone whether any good or not... oh wait, haven't we got some of that already...
