I would like to see Zondervan's NIV with this capability. If the method isn't a true proprietary IP, is it something that you would consider teaching others to utilize when making other reference books on the Kindle?

This type of stuff can be protected either by a patent or trade secret. Trade secret will not work in this case because it is easy to figure out once you have my book. I have not filed for a patent and am not planning to. So, this technique is free for anybody to use if they figure out how it works.
Yesterday, I have signed an agreement with copyright holders for the NET Bible to convert their Bible into Kindle format with DVJ. I am working on it right now. I may approach others and see if they are interested in having me do the same with their translations. I also plan to "Kindlize" the WEB, and some foreign language Bibles that are in Public Domain.
At this time, I do not want to give away all my secrets for free but I can't and don't prevent others from doing something similar.
By the way, I have come up with some improvements to DVJ. So, the NET Bible will have a new version of it which should be even faster and look even better.
