Hello,

I would be interested in creating an epub-version of the PostgreSQL Magazine. Any objection?

Best regards,
Marc

That sounds fine :-) So where can I find the sources / files?

Best regards,
Marc

Thanks for proposing this ! epub is a long-awaited format. We're
receiving lots of questions about it from readers.

The source files are here: https://github.com/daamien/pgmag

Let me know if you need anything.

Out of curiosity, what is your plan ? Do you intend make a PDF to EPUB
convertion or go directly from the scribus files to EPUB ?

Hello Damian,

thanks for the link! I think it would be better to create the EPUB
from scratch and take the contents out of the scribus files. A
conversion will not look fine on an ebook-reader device.
I think I should test it with the first issue and create different
versions to test with.

Regards,
Marc

Hi !

Out of curiosity, what software do you plan to use to create the epub
file ? Sigil ?

Yes, I will use Sigil and Vim :-) I tried a conversion from the PDF
directly yesterday, but as expected the result looks bad ;-)
