I'm thinking technically because I want PDF out and HTML/epub in. If authors or publishers have trouble with producing HTML/epub, I'd like to hear about that too. Ironically, when I had surprises with amateur-made epubs of e.g. SICP, alternative releases in actual HTML were better.
(Btw, I'm told that PDFs of Tufte suck and the only way to read him is on paper.)
> I'm going to be reading it on something paper-shaped (and often, sized) so it's barely even a tradeoff
Just as I wrote at the beginning of the thread: “buy a special device to read this format”.
