Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. Currently I have close to 300 stories released on my portal site, all designed in the iPhone-like style CSS and HTML5 code. I recently watched an interview with Eric Schmidt talking about few billions of people probably not being to connect to the Internet for quite a while. However, smartphones will be dirt cheap in just a few years and communities may develop mesh networks where information can be passed around from phone to phone (via BlueTooth or direct WiFi). This inspires me to develop a program to automatically convert stories (they are mainly texts and pictures -- simple structure) into a form that can be passed around from phone to phone. After all, 40% of visitors to my site are from India so I imagine if my Indian visitors download the stories they can share with the less fortunate ones who have no Internet access.

As a story enthusiast not chasing after money, I want a format that can be used widely and easily. That's why I look at ePub. As ePub3 is essentially HTML5, I thought ePub3 would be the best place to start my study. How does it sound?
