be the preferred output (since
printers like that). But what you are asking for is not a new
component for LyX, but a way to export to e-book formats, which would
be, basically, a dvi-to-(enter your e-book format) utility. TeX may be
too wedded to page sizes and predetermined font sizes, b
more straightforward. This would
also enable (I think) LyX to run on netbooks, since AFAIK they are
Android machines --- and since they have real keyboards they would make
a usable platform. I do believe TeX is available in some form. I also
have no idea why porting to the iPad would be sig
ier for me in the gooey fashion. The only
problem with using LaTeX directly is that LyX puts you in that box, and
you have to know to get out of it.
