You can download a more usable form of the book in html if you want to do something interesting with the text for which the pdf is inconvenient. Please be aware that this html version is minimal, does not include the graphics or properly locate the tables. Fixing this would be one place to start playing. If you can use this to create interesting annotation tools or have another idea, have fun. Please remember: the book is available under CC noncommercial sharealike license.
