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!

I was dumb enough to try once. I basically ended up removing all the CSS and then rebuilding a text file with pictures to a semi-decent looking epub. If I was running a business, I would have used nothing but red ink for that job. It was a learning experience and those are said to be worth the cost. What did I learn? The next time someone wants a fixed layout converted to a reflowable layout, saunter away (running away while screaming attracts too much attention
).
