Hello,

There are a number of Kindle math books - from Dover, for example, that appear to have been converted from scans to Kindle/mobi.

Usually the display equations are images and sometimes inline math content is converted to some font and sometime appear as images.

I am wondering what sort of commercial software is used to produce such eBooks. In other words how do companies that produce eBooks for a living generate these sort of eBooks from "legacy" texts.

There are not so many ePubs - and I haven't yet seen any Dover eBooks other than Kindle from Amazon.

Thanks
