I never said it was easy or a slam dunk. I
do think it's
possible, and increasingly
necessary, for any publisher making a living selling books that wants to offer electronic editions.
The initial up front investment will be repaid longer term by reduced production costs. If a computer can handle the conversions automatically, it should. The human beings' time should be spent on acquiring, editing, and producing the marked up edition.
