Some hints on how to do this in latex:

I think it would make sense to split the preamble and take out the geometry information, than we could have different pre-preambles with the right margins, geometry and font sizes for print and epub, and compile both separately. It could also include a pdfbook parsed version for people that want to print it in booklet form.

Yeah, the preamble is way too big as it is... I trimmed it down, but there are still things that make the PDF beautiful :) It is based on this SICP PDF's preamble. Any refactoring work there would be welcomed!

This is now done! The make file creates both versions!
