[QUOTE=Elfwreck;466497]That's one of the key issues you're missing--who's going to create these "properly done" PDFs?

Increasingly, I am with Sonist. Particularly when he compliments that handsome yongue rogue, Ahi! (A swell fella that one!)

The day (after) a publisher decides to take eBooks seriously, they will get competent members of their staff to generate the necessary PDFs after some cursory research that informs what display sizes and peculiarities they ought to take into account... instead of having whoever they presently punished with the added responsibility of creating eBooks that nobody at the publisher will ever quality check.

Since publishers' primary activity is generate great quality PDFs, they will manage better than most of us will with making ePubs even... as soon as they feel its a market worth caring about.
