Publish in EPUB!

Can you guys publish your free books in EPUB or one of the other "reflowable" formats so they are easier to read on Nooks and other ebook readers!

The PDF tends to get squished and is hard to read; converting the PDF itself to an EPUB wih Calibre just makes things worse...

Thanks
Jay

    Thanks for the suggestion, Jay. I'm researching tools and workflow options for future titles. Since our existing books are heavy on the graphics, code listings, and tables, conversion isn't so simple, as you discovered with Calibre. Is there a specific title you most wish you had in EPUB? Perhaps I can make it a "test pancake" when I have the opportunity to test-drive some tools.

    I'm currently reading thru "Understanding Signals with the PropScope text" on my nook. The other one I refer back to a lot is the "Propeller Manual".

    Thanks
