I must agree with Marcello here, in that I have met MANY people who have read entire PG eBooks on Palm-powered devices or with Plucker or Mobi or any of the other formats. In fact, I have received message from people who doubled the number they read in toto per year, just by reading in line, commuting, etc. If you could do PG eBooks on the first iPod after only one week out then the rest should actually be gravy. . . .

Of course, you've advocated breaking it on my 1600x900 screen, and you totally trashed any chance we could have TEI-Lite.
Now that you mentioned it: I never ever read even one entire book on a desktop screen.
OTOH my old Palm Treo (320x320) is still loaded with 200+ plucker books, most of which I've actually read, in the park, on the commute or standing in the queue.
I don't know why DP must pighead itself into producing for a platform nobody uses for reading. Must be that you can show off to your friends easier on a desktop (after carefully adjusting the browser width to the only width the book actually works.)
Care to amplify on that bit about TEI? I don't quite understand how actually writing a TEI converter that works for PG has trashed the chances? The only possible interpretation is that DP has a serious case of 'not invented here'.
