It's a point pedantic to the extent that it feels as though you are trying to turn attention away from the eminently real, easy to grasp, and practical problems brought up... for which the assumption of imminent software solutions probably seems a bit silly to a number of people in this discussion.
If that isn't your intent, I apologize for suggesting otherwise. But, to be clear, I personally will not be trying to satisfy your curiosity about the mathematical veracity of my claims. I think, other than perhaps for your perception of my level of intelligent or personal character, it is beside the point.
Will any of the issues raised be addressed by any arguments that don't rely on:
1) deciding that the stuff that's too hard for software is not important anyways.
2) offloading work that presently nobody making ePubs is doing onto the bookmaker.
3) suggesting that in some nebulous and yet unforeseeable way technology will save the day.
If so, I shall be impressed and intrigued. If not, we shall have to continue to agree to disagree.

And he definitely won't be providing any, or even wasting any time on this suggested detour.
Sorry.
