It certainly would be nice if there was a simple solution like there is for other formats, but at the moment the long, complicated, error-prone process mentioned above is all we've got. Not really worth the trouble.
Yes, I knew it is possible to do this, but would be a herculean effort for a book of any length.

Hopefully, the programmers out there will solve this problem soon.
