Yes, when I spoke to a book designer last week she
told me my book would be "perfect" for the e-book
format, except that the Chapter Titles would disappear,
all the color formatting would be gone, etc, etc.
It sounded dismal.

I presume Adobe is working on a protection scheme for
PDF files, which everyone wants to use, but who knows
when that will be ready. In the meantime, I guess we
live with our fingers permanently crossed.

Cheers,

David

P.S. By the way, I've gotten some REALLY nice graphics
today. Thank you. Some of them have given me new ideas
for the book! :-)
