Also, if someone would volunteer their book that already converts, I would be happy to replace the actual text in the e-book with lorem ipsum output. Blow away all the math and replace that with one of a fixed set of math expressions, ditto with figures. This is a mechanical process, and should be automatable with the latex tooling I'm developing ( https://github.com/chetmurthy/latex_tools ). Obviously, I'd sign an agreement that I would neither retain, nor disseminate, the original source or any derivative I was given access to.
Instead, I would return the "greekified" latex source to the person who'd agreed to all this, and they could decide whether it was OK, and at that point, they could make it available freely. Just an idea. On Sun, Mar 2, 2025 at 7:49 AM Chet Murthy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I've been trying to convert this 1M book to EPUB, and it's been heavy > going.
