I'd even be willing to expose my Gutenberg mirror as the "mobile site" and make the necessary adjustments if you wanted to do that.
I threw something together this afternoon and you can see it in the screenshots below (taken from my BlackBerry Bold device with BBSAK from my Windows laptop) http://code.gnu-designs.com/m.gutenberg.org/ These are NOT converted etexts, they're 100% untouched and are manipulated on the fly by a little wrapper that I wrote, which sanitizes and cleanses the output and also injects a proper stylesheet that is appropriate for mobile devices. I was playing with some "e-paper-like" color schemes (which you can see in the screenshots), to increase readability. I can easily reflow, reformat, slice and dice the output to look like anything I want for any device. A 175-line Perl script (with comments!) drives the site that converts these on the fly for users. If anyone is interested, I can probably tighten up the security and expose it publicly to get some heavy testing on it. I'd love to have something like this linked from the main Gutenberg site :)
