Richard,
Agreed. No traditional publisher will touch this until there is a
demonstrated large enough user base. But, there are some 'untraditional'
publishers, using POD (Publish on Demand) technology (ex.
www.publishamerica.com) who might sell copies of a RR book online 'as orders
come in.'
Just a thought,

Hi,
I've just started learning to use Rev and consider myself one who would benefit from having a Rev book that had an index, code examples, a possible lexicon section, keyword search, and possible use of graphical examples. I have spent the last few years experimenting on a relational-text-gathering-system for study guides and other learning tools. I have built a way to deliver a book in my own powerful e-book technology that allows for 128 AES encryption, limited copy protection, keyword search, a navigate capable index, and the most powerful feature, the relational-text-gathering-system. I would be willing to build and publish a book on Rev now if the experts and authors that are looking for a publisher were willing to work with me on it. This technology would have a very strong protection scheme and could be purchased from a website that handles on-line transactions and royalty splits. I have published a book in this format already as well as the printed version. Because of my experience publishing printed books I would not be interested in going down that road at this time. This is a possible way to get my hands on a book sooner rather than later.
Let me know if anyone is interested.
