I'm all with you that it would be great to have a technically-apt mark-up langauge with some tweaks for reflowable ebooks. I don't care much whether it were LaTeX-based or (X)(HT)(Math)ML based, though from what I've seen of MathML, TeX markup is a lot less messy and easier to compose in. There would have to be some changes and additions though.
The idea of Kindles being used for textbooks when most of them don't even support ePubs much less PDFs is at present a kind of lunacy. The .mobi format and similar just can't do what needs to be done. |
It is also said that ePub will one day get dynamically rendered footnote support ;-) (Although, while using MS Word recently, I noticed that redrawing those on the fly became very slow after the 200th or so footnote already, so there might be a reason for that).
In any case, Irex
