Ahi;

Why should there need to be firmware support for specific hyphenation dictionaries? The smart way to do it is to support plug-in dictionaries in the file format...

Thing is, there's no reason that a custom DVI format for ebooks couldn't contain the markup for multiple screen sizes without needing to duplicate the base data, but there's also no reason why ePub couldn't be extended to do that either.

Except that Publishers, well, won't.
