left to die all alone by yourself

it's really embarrassing when your whole book ends
on an orphan. embarrassing for you, and the company
who programmed the app that did such a stupid thing.
(i'm looking at you, amazon. looking squarely at you.)

and yeah, the transcriber's note, which instructs you to
hover the mouse over a correction (with its dotted line)
in order to get the original text, will be quite amusing to
people reading on their iphones and tablets and all the
other form-factors which don't happen to have a mouse.
it just goes to show the mindset of the post-processor...

they think they're making e-books for the ages, and they
seem to have no idea how limited their vision actually is...
if there's anything we should have learned by now, it's that
whatever our idea of the future, the future will be not-that.

oh yeah, and now we have the legalese at the book's end...
it assaulted us on the way in, and now again on the way out.
please just make it go away. put it in an "about" box that
end-users can totally and completely and utterly ignore.
i'll accept one line -- a link to the legalese on the p.g. site.
anything more than that is too much. make it go away...
