Good question. The problem is that the current pdf formatting does not translate to ePub (actually, html). For example, I use a "pretty printing" package in LaTeX for computer code that numbers each line and does syntax coloring (all the keywords are on color, the comments are another, etc.). It's done automatically by the LaTeX package. I don't think there is anything like this for html. Doing it "by hand" for about 200 computer code listings would be nearly impossible.

The bottom line here is that I think the ePub version of the book will look very different than my current version. I have learned that there is no reasonable way to convert it from pdf to ePub, but I was hoping that there was a good way to convert it from ePub to pdf (which could then easily be printed).
