Hi,
I'm trying to convert a couple of real page-turners: 1) the
Python Library reference and 2)
PostgreSQL online documentation to Kindle eBooks.
The Python docs start as restructured text & are converted by Sphinx to HTML. The HTML source is available at
http://docs.python.org/archives/pyth...s-html.tar.bz2. I added
library/index.html as an eBook and converted this for my Kindle.
The Postgres docs start as sgml & are converted by jade to HTML. The HTML source is available at
ftp://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mir...-9.0.3.tar.bz2. I added
doc/src/sgml/html/index.html as an ebook and converted that.
The conversions were suboptimal in two different ways. The
postgres book was out of order -- the appendixes appeared first & html footers were on each page. The
python library still had all (at least most) html tags inplace & you were reading html on the kindle.
Any thoughts on converting to nice ebooks with TOC, etc. Obviously, reading the SGML or RsT source (before HTML encoding) would be best. Any other thoughts?
Thanks. Kent
