The problem is the way they make eBooks, they don't do the formatting all that well. They don't get it.
Jon, I love ya, but they don't care. Hell, my authors don't--they just want their eBook readable. To them, it doesn't really matter if someone does an automatic job using Calibre, or if we hand-code them. They only see what's on the surface, so it's fair, really, that that's what they care about. Why should they care if we code a blockquote as a blockquote or a span or a div?

We can't expect them to demand or care about what they cannot see, or understand as if they were writing HTML, they'd DIY. Right? We need to be fair about how we view them, no?
