I'm personally a huge fan of "A Fire Upon The Deep" and I got really stoked when I saw there was a version annotated by the author, and then really sad when I saw they were in an old RTF format, and I didn't really like the way I got them to render in modern applications.
So I made some super hacky scripts to convert the old RTF junk into a single, gigantic HTML file with the annotations in a side margin.
Posting that directly would probably run me afoul of some legal entity I don't feel like dealing with, but through the magic of someone else posting the archive to Archive.org and code being sharable, you too can create your own true hypertext version of "A Fire Upon The Deep"!
