So the ebook kept not showing up on Amazon, and I finally got a
straight answer as to why: it was failing to convert to the Amazon
format. Fortunately, this led me to finding the tool they use,
which is now being run as part of the build. Did a bunch of things
to make this tool happily. So hopefully we should have an ebook
soon.

The changelog:

2016-08-26
==========

Fix the EPUB (and the Kindle MOBI) round two!

All versions:
- A couple of insignificant wording changes; https://github.com/lojban/cll/commit/6b891e06ec0115877fd062b3c141b7c6ec3060c8
- The definition of bakrecpa'o in jbovlaste changed. :)

EPUB generation was substantially altered to make kindlegen happy.
In particular
- tags that had previously been ignored with "display: none;" are
now removed entirely
- dl/dd/dt tags in the EPUB are now replace with ul/li tags with
special CSS

Also, there is now an official MOBI, the one generated by kindlegen
from the EPUB.

This version was only pushed to the EPUB on the publisher side; the
changes to the PDF were so minor that it didn't seem worth it to
push the print version as well.

Thank you! I am sure that that was a hassle.

:) It really kind of was.

OTOH, it's *REALLY* nice to now know where to get the kindlegen
tool, and to be using it to produce the MOBI (since why else would
anyone use a MOBI at this point?).
