Hi Marcello, There are was to separate the The different versions in the HTML code, but it is not pretty and easier to edit, but workable. This kind of work is done daily by programs developing programs for different platforms and OS versions. One file serves all. Yes, to handle this kind of system would require a slight change in the workflow and the use of only a couple of tools whose syntax is easy enough to learn. I sympathize with your feelings. The question is if PG should develop a simple markup based on for example XHMTL to accommodate the growing interest in more appealing texts and formats. The bigger question is who is willing to spear-head the project and help retool the PG tool chain and make the move as easy as possible. At least there does seem to be an interest. regards Keith.

OK, no MOBI uploads. What about HTML delivered ready for MOBI conversion?
Still one file more to juggle.
Furthermore we'd have to change the posting guidelines and the software that runs the site. Up to now we accepted only one HTML per ebook. We'd have to change that into accepting:
HTML HTML for EPUB HTML for Mobi HTML for eReader-sized devices HTML for iPhone-sized devices HTML for WAP devices
and if you find an error in the text, you'd still have to fix all those files manually.
The solution is obvious: make one simple HTML that works on *all* devices. Forget fancy formatting and concentrate of the *words*. Those render fine on all devices.
