I won’t go into why I found it but I discovered a directory on my Mac
down the ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~com~apple~iBooks/Documents
path called “The Org Manual.epub”. The contents appears to be the Org
manual around 2022, release 9.5, from “The Org Mode Developers”. There
is another directory for a Canon lens that is also in epub format.
Can anyone give me a clue as to where the epub version of the Org
manual came from?
File metadata (viewers should have a menu item to display it or you may
unzip the file) should give some clue concerning which way the document
was generated.
My guess is:
Perry Smith. Org.texi (the Org Manual) in ePub format. Fri, 10 Jun 2022

and links therein.
More than a decade ago I have seen complains that annotations for ePUB
are not supported in many readers. For PDF this feature is wide spread.
Perhaps it was related to Android tablets.
