Yeah, its not much of an obstacle for a techie like myself. I routinely download books in .lit, use tools to convert the .lit file to html and then prince and a standard style sheet to convert to pdf. And I have also written a perl script to reformat P.G. books so that the fixed line width is eliminated and so that indentations are used instead of line breaks for new paragraphs.

All that being said though, I can see most people giving up on it rather quickly.

I wish P.G. would give up on that 72 character line width requirement. Unless one is reading P.G. books in a text editor designed for programming or a web browser, it is more of a bane than a boon.
