Just a quick clarification "I hope you are refering to business of bookmaking and not the art of bookbinding..which as you say is about making reading, writing and the use of the senses when having a book in your hands and on a shelf...yes I bookbind. I mere dabbler but still...handmade papers, leather, sewen binds truly should still be considered true art.

Having said my piece on the book...having reread the news release concerning the epub and prs 500 I am not sure that software will be to facilitate existing books, but rather books to be bought in the future using connect..I hope this will be further clarified on Aug. 25th I shudder at calling
tech support truly a nightmare, of which my last several still loom large in my memories..
