Yes, of course, and I absolutely want ebooks, no question. =C2=A0I= 9;m just
hedging in case it turns out to be hundreds of hours of work.
<= div>=C2=A0
Get Calibre from=C2=A0http://calibre-ebook.com/ . It's free= and can handle quite a lot of ebook format conversions, e.g., it usually d= oes a quite decent conversion from HTML to epub. I've tested it on the = HTML version of CLL1 and encountered there only one major conversion relate= d problem, i.e., the long interlinear examples, which cannot be automatical= ly folded and are impossible to read in the unfolded form at least on my So= ny reader.

Finding a usable format for the index may be another pr= oblem.

For manual editing of epubs, there is Sigil= , available at=C2=A0http://code.google.com/p/sigil/ .

Kindle cannot handle epub, but Calibre will also conver= t to Mobi format, which ought to be OK. Kindle also handles HTML.

More info about devices, formats and programs can be found = at=C2=A0htt= p://www.mobileread.com/forums/ .


I= believe that Amazon also offers authoring tools themselves.=C2=A0
