Hi Everyone,

I've done a bit of lurking here, but this is my first post. I've been involved in eBook production since 2001, and now spend most of my waking hours producing ePubs for major publishers. I have to say it's quite interesting reading forum posts about books that I worked on!

I started out in typesetting and pre-press, but quickly got involved in XML and eBooks. I'm hoping that standards like ePub will be fully supported in the eBook world (please don't make me create PML any more!). I hope that publishers will put as much care and craft into their eBooks as they do their print books, and I hope reading systems will finally gain the formatting capabilities of ten-year-old web browsers!
