Oh, but wait, DNSB, you don't mean to go off on some
polemic, do ya????? (sigh).
Now, back to all seriousness:
Not to mention, you can't simply willy-nilly nuke the CSS. You have to look at
every single one of those bloody classes and make sure that it's only related to the exact positioning on the page, etc.
I've seen them with spans around
EVERY LETTER.
Every single letter. It's not as simple as one might think. We tried it, ages ago. Twice. It is literally faster and cheaper to get a PDF and make the ebook (the reflowable ebook) from that. And you all
know how I feel about making eBooks from PDFs!
