I am telling you... ten years down the line, you will want to create some beautiful new ebooks/PDFs/whatever format out of your converted books, and then you will curse your "ten years ago" self.

Example: One of my other side projects is "redoing" a lot of the books that were previously converted by an Indian conversion company. They use spaghetti code + hideous code + unmaintainable junk. Sure, it may LOOK pretty, and work ok FOR NOW in EPUB/current devices. But when the next ebook generation comes along, I bet you these books will break and be a complete pain to transfer over.

Anyway... sort of getting side-tracked from the main post.
