Actually, I haven't tried it, but I assume it uses some kind of standard HTML renderer to build the PDF pages, right?

I was after a way to calm down typography zealots (and I'm sometimes one of them), so either exporting to LaTeX or using advanced features (good h&j algorithm, ligatures, character protrusion...) would be needed. In other words, while we wait for better typography being implemented in reading software, I thought I could try using LaTeX to convert other ebook formats to PDF as an alternative to distributing the pre-made PDFs.
