Note that there is still room for improvement with purely automatic typesetting. The ebook readers
could use a paragraph-breaking algorithm similar to the one in TeX instead of simplistic Word-like they're using now, and hyphenation could be greatly improved, and some automatic ligatures used... There are some things that are not possible and would need human intervention, but still without that a much more pleasant typesetting can be achived without sacrificing flexibility.
