So what are you suggesting? ... What is a constructive suggestion?
as per usual, for this _particular_ topic, we have the otherwise uncommon phenomenon where jim adcock is one of the only people making sense in the dialog.
so let me translate for you.
jim recommends that p.g. should _require_and_enforce_ submitted .html to be convertible to quality .mobi/.epub.
as _part_ of this, jim recommends that the converter-tool should be improved, since its current performance sucks.
jim suggests that an improved converter coupled with just a _little_ bit of bending on the part of the producer's whims will mean that _everyone_ will end up with a better outcome.
he would probably also suggest that the converter-tool be made more widely available, so that producers could use it to check the viability of their files _while_ working on them. (the current p.g. web-app tool is extremely clumsy to use.)
This is, more or less, exactly what I said we needed. There is no resistance to any of this. I even asked for input on figuring out what the requirements & enforcement would look like. -- Greg
