For example: Pollen helps authors create beautiful and functional web-based books that are written as programs that generate HTML. Never-have-I-ever seen anything that confuses "feature" and "benefit" so much as this project. Why do I want my next book to be a program? A 20-minute video explaining it is almost condescending.

Or "solution", for that matter; regardless of whether "enterprise" is also present.
