But it sounds good. PNGs have the big disadvantage that you cannot copy/search/select the content. Also, they do not scale (which is especially bad in an e-book). Some e-book readers support SVG, so this may be an option. However, converting LaTeX math output to SVG does not work well because the math fonts have special, non-standard alignments. It will only work satisfactorily with XeTeX or LuaTeX, the unicode-math package and OpenType fonts. However, the --math-output=HTML option should be scalable, searchable, and portable - as long as the target device supports CSS2.
