[Csnd] Manual - EPUB Format

Subject[Csnd] Manual - EPUB Format
Hi All,

I was experimenting with generating the Csound Manual as an EPUB
format and placed a copy online at:

http://www.kunstmusik.com/manual.epub

It's missing some meta-data but overall is working.  Might be of
interest to those with ebook readers.  If you download it and would
want manuals in epub format for the future, please reply here so we
can get a sense of how much interest there is.

Thanks!
steven

Hi Steven,

As I am blind, the HTML version of the manual works well for me.

Hi Adam,

Sorry if it wasn't clear, this was to propose adding this format as an
additional target to build, not to replace any current version.

Thanks!

Instead of epub, how about mobi? Then it's readable on Kindle without
any additional steps.

personally, i vote against mobi and for epub. it's open, free, and as far
as i'm concerned, better supported for us non-amazon, non-kindle people. if
i'm not mistaken, Mobipocket is now owned by amazon, and i understand that
they might want to maximise sales of kindles. but i'm not very
knowledgeable in ebook formats, and i might be completely missing the
point...

Hi Michael and Luis,

I have a Kindle myself and prefer mobi where possible.  If it's
DRM-free mobi, then there's little problem to convert to epub, or vice
versa. epub's can be DRM restricted themselves, so I don't feel so
strongly that one or the other is essentially better, though EPUB
seems to be "more" free.

Regarding mobi format, I didn't see any easy tool like I did for epub
creation.  However, I use Calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) to
organize most of my electronic texts (pdf, epub, mobi, etc.) and use
that to convert and send versions of epubs as mobi files to my Kindle.

Considering the source of the manual is free, getting it out in as
many popular formats for everyone seems to be most in the spirit of it
all for me.

Thanks!
steven
