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.
