Yes, I have been concentrating on making lots of good material available in xhtml which seems to be the most universal format so that many systems/devices/programs can use them.
Potentially easier to convert in bulk with their CSS.

I do appreciate the desire to keep reading pure - I have thousands of real books and I work from home so I can read them easily

I am surely a bit thick that I cannot see why html presented, black on white, text in e-ink is not a good reading experience . . . . ?

Just to continue with my (false) humility - please explain:
*cough* conversion *cough*

It looks like I start a lot of work or start a lot of waiting - I am much better at the waiting than the working - decision made! . . . mebbe.
Thanks again!

Off-topic: Isn't it great that paper is still the best! Years ago I came across a news item that the British Library had digitised the Domesday Book or something equally priceless - and within a few years the computers could not read it
(I started using AmiPro3 - remember that? - better than Word2. Then Word, then I got fed up and went non-proprietary to html. Gnashing of teeth that slightly older Word version cannot read docx natively - but OOo doesn't even make a fuss about it. I only use Win for OmniPage)
