Also no search (usually just an index and/or ToC), no dynamic changes ("I don't have this ingredient at home, can I substitute it?"), etc. Don't get me wrong, I love me a good cookbook, but being able to dynamically create a recipe based on what I have, how much time I have, my own skill level, that's really cool when it works.

I would have linked you to Eat Your Books, a website that lets you search the cook books that you own.

But Cloudflare/they have inexplicably blocked me, some guy on his iPhone in a hotel in Vietnam. So, screw them, particularly on this thread about the open web.

Most of the cookbooks ive seen are just as bad when it comes to having too much exposition and not enough recipe.

Also no search though and limited bookmarking and editing ability.
