You're right, of course, Nat, but I see that more as a discussion of the "generalities" of discussing eBook creation tools and techniques (as, to a certain extent, is the "Reader Contents" sub-forum here. The advantages of being able to start a forum thread and attach a book to it are that:
1. It gives people a specific place to look for (hopefully) nice books to download.
2. It lets people see what other people are doing with book creation tools for the Reader (ie the "end results", rather than an abstract discussion of the tools).
3. It provides a focal point to ask questions about how that specific book was created or, indeed, a place for the creator of that book to ask other people how they feel it should be have been done.
It may sound silly, but I'm actually quite excited about this. BD has really given me the "Book Creation Bug" and I can think of all sorts of fun and interesting things I'd like to use BD for. A dedicated "Book Uploads" sub-forum could really be a focal point for people who want to create books to learn from each other and advance the "state of the art" in Reader book creation.
