Epub format? #28

Open ccamara opened 4 years ago

Thanks for writing and sharing this book, @djnavarro

Would it be possible to generate a copy in epub format for reading on an e-book? AFAIK, bookdown allows it (https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/e-books.html), but I have not managed to generate a file (never worked with it, though). Also, converting PDF to epub using calibre does lose some formatting and makes it extremely difficult to read and pandoc does not convert from PDF.

Yeah, this has been an issue from the beginning. The book was originally written in pure LaTeX and the bookdown conversion generously made by @ekothe doesn't quite work for the epub version. Later this year I'm planning a more thorough revision that will be epub-friendly from the beginning. I have some other projects I need to finish before I can start it though, and I'm tentatively aiming to have the revision complete mid-2021

Oh, thank you for the explanation and for reviewing the content.
