Hi DomesticExtremis, thanks so much for sharing this EPUB!

I made some further tweaks I thought I'd share back with y'all :-).

What started out as a minor polish did not stop until my OCD was satisfied . Most of the stuff was to make the epub more consistent and more readable on ereaders and calibre while still looking as close to the original PDF as possible. Behold ^^:

Changes I made (all done with calibre polish/tweak//text editor):
Spoiler:
  • changed book title to title listed on Amazon
  • switched cover image for higher-resolution one from Google Images
  • Smartened Punctuation (to fix some odd quotation marks and ellipses)
  • Polished TOC:
    • Added missing chapters 7 and 10
    • numbered chapters
    • Added part titles
    • rearranged TOC hierarchy (chapters inside parts)
    • added missing space in heading of chapter 4
  • XHTML Fixes:
    • added missing space in heading, removed <br> in subheading of chapter 4
    • made mentioned weblinks clickable
    • more consistent usage of Single-linepara class
  • CSS changes:
    • removed text body paragraph margins, added first line indentation to them (plus added/changed various CSS rules and made some minor xhtml modifications to exempt infoboxes, subheadings etc. from that)
    • removed chapter page side margins (this way the ereader sets the margins and less screen space is wasted)
    • reduced top margin of title page main header (works better with larger font sizes)
    • reduced side margins on non chapter files
    • reduced top margins on part title pages
    • added line-break before quote attributions
    • prettied up CSS file, rearranged rules more logically
    • changed top margin to padding at page beginnings to fix calibre not displaying top margins there
  • backcover:
    • added bg color to div to fix calibre display issues
    • changed margin into padding to fix calibre display issues
    • fixed link color
  • OPF edits:
    • set type="text" start marker in opf file
    • cleaned up metadata in opf file
    • added some minor metadata

I also created an AZW3/KF8 Kindle version with KindleGen (Split from the combined MOBI/KF8 file. Sadly, the mobi is unreadable and I can't be bothered to polish that too! :P)
