We Need a New Approach
Both the PDF-based and the device-based approaches to text formatting are unsatisfactory. We need an approach that gives designers the ability to fine-tune the visual experience of a book on screen with as much sophistication as they do on the page, but provide the flexibility to dynamically render the text to support a range of displays, screen orientations, and user preferences. I don't think this is too much to ask. The tools are here to make this possible: XML, cascading style sheets, HTML5, and so on. We just need to get down to business and understand how to make these technologies work together to create a successful mode of communication.
