Re: [darktable-user] Manual in EPUB format

Tony,

You don’t have to save it as an EPUB. Calibre indexes and opens pdfs without a 
problem! Furthermore, by not converting to EPUB, you’re avoiding the funky 
formatting that often happens as a result of the process.

Converting it is an option and indeed Calibre can do this. However, the
resulting EPUB document then is incredibly slow when it is opened in
Calibre. My belief is creating the EPUB from the original source may
produce better results, but I need to try it first!

Regards,
Tony.

Why don't you just convert it?

a google search for "pdf to epub" provides many references, first:

[darktable-user] Manual in EPUB format

[Tony Arnold]

Is there an EPUB (or other ebook format) version of the darktable manual 
available? Or how might I go about creating such a version?

I ask, as every now and again I take a look at Calibre to organise documents. 
It can handle PDF docs, but I think EPUB or some such may be better suited.

Any help greatly appreciated as always.

Regards,
Tony.
