Since bowerbird is going off in his own little world, I decided to create my own autoformatter for PG ebooks. My planned output format is very basic html. It's the closest to a universal format right now. I think I will be able to implement most of the suggestions in the first post of this thread.

Mobipocket is committed to importing epub even if they don't support it natively.

One problem with xhtml as an exchange format is lack of backward compatibility. (I also don't know what the tags are, so if you could point me at a tutorial I would appreciate it.) On another point, does any device use epub yet?
