Surely the time has come for PG to offer at least some of the books in sexier formats. EPub seems suddenly to be inevitable, though I don't like it much, and I would much prefer to distribute PDF documents. But they are inevitably bulkier!
PG has been offering EPUB for nearly 3 years. And Kindle for more than 2 years. We are also offering PDF for those producers who chose to go the TEI way. We will start offering PDF for those producers that choose the RST process.
So there you are! The scripts are still in flux, but the results look encouraging. Anyone interested?
Since you mentioned it in the subject line ... Tcl is *not* our language of choice and integrating your tcl script into our python framework will probably take longer than rewriting the interesting bits from scratch. The only thing that really interest me is your experience with PDF toolkits. Which one are you using? What can you say pro and contra it? -- Marcello Perathoner webmaster@gutenberg.org
