Feature: Support for files other than PDF #87

Common book file formats:

Some of these would be a really heavy lift, but I think initially tackling a plaintext document shouldn't be impossible with pdf lib using drawText.

My pie in the sky would be to support epubs, but not sure if that day will ever come.

So I think this is probably out of scope for this particular project - basically all of these are better-implemented as server-side functionality (in particular I don't think there's any other way to render LaTeX), and are really typesetting issues rather than imposition issues.

(I am working on a guide for epub -> LaTeX -> pdf outside of this project, though. But reflowable formats are not well-suited to blind-typesetting)
