Roger is also a 100% linux shop. Well, that may not be entirely true - he probably uses Solarix and various unices.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 8:26 AM, Marcello Perathoner <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:marcello@perathoner.de">marcello@perathoner.de</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

So after DP goes through the time and effort to define the standards to upload to PG, people from PG can say &quot;No, that&#39;s not what we want&quot;?<br>

I don&#39;t see any danger of that as long as the new standards are more restrictive than the old ones. And they&#39;d have to be a lot more restrictive to be worth the trouble of implementing them.<div class="im"><br>

Yes, Roger has the converter and his discussion of the changes that need to be made so the conversion to ePub works properly was very helpful. I used what I learned in that thread in the last 8 books that I have uploaded. But I am working on books right now that I know will not convert properly (based on what I have learned from Roger&#39;s discussion). I would like to be able to preview, change the coding and preview again until I find a satisfactory solution.<br>

The sources are online ... But me being a 100% linux shop and ibiblio being a 100% linux shop and with 99% of you wanting a windows software somebody has to take the time and port it.<br>
<br>
OTOH the converter is just one link in the chain. You&#39;d also have to test the ePub on every reader out there.<br>
<br>
Its much easier to forget about fancy formatting and use only the simplest HTML constructs.<div class="im"><br>
