No-one will ever agree on any single standard, and even if "we" do, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon etc will mutate their own versions

While this is true I don't think it's a challenge to what I said above. Instead of every publisher with custom crap, open lib of conversions
-
I'm just wondering if there's a role for Adobe Flash somewhere in solving all this mess ...
-
*shudders*
-
Flash absolutely has an important role, it allows malware to spread in large publishers with outdated tech contributing to their downfall
-
Woof woof
-
I guess Flash does cost a Bob or two *hides*

I agree with Mick that word and PDF will "stickier" than Rik thinks, because professors are slow to change :). But I am optimistic.

(tried to channel Mick here. maybe I got it wrong)
-
having PDF as an option will always be fine, but PDF-oriented workflows prevent much procedural and infrastructural improvement
-
my point is not that PDF will become obsolete, but that the underlying workflows are about to be replaced with a new generation
-
yes, I understood that was what you meant ;). I hope it happens!

(and I am happy to help within my usual limits of time etc. :)
