Were I able to offer e-publishing options for FrameMaker-developed books at low (or even zero) cost, it would justify the price of a 10->12 upgrade. The dream option would be to output to pre-press PDF and Kindle with zero extra work, but I expect it's more complex than that. (I know little or nothing about the Kindle format.)
