How hard is it to convert to multiple e-reader formats including PDF?
E-readers have not yet taken off in Australia and I wouldn't buy a

sticking advertising at random through your books.)

I like the idea of a 'go to' book but understood that this was the
function of the wiki. Do I have the wrong impression?
Duplicaton of effort is a bad idea, but I do like having the 'best and
most current' readily available.
A related issue is navigation and SEO of existing material. For

Good stuff, specially if it is at the level of the previous which came
with SuSE Linux (I have from 6.0 to 7.1). Though I've really never used
them, they used to pack powerful information for anyone moving in to
