Hm, your subject is a bit misleading - I thought you wanted to *create
eBooks* using TeX. That would be much more useful...
Even if some eBook devices can display PDF, AFAIK we still cannot
create the re-flowable variant (needs a XML stream, see other
discussions about tagged PDF or PDF/X).
In one of the latest c't (German computer magazine) there was a nice
article on creating eBooks in Epub format (HTML based). Even if I
don't intend to buy an eBook device, it made me think again about
using another input language than TeX to create HTML, ConTeXt and
whatever from one source. Knut Lickert recently gave a talk on "Creole
for LaTeX" (Creole is an unified Wiki markup syntax), I'm still
planning to use ReStructuredText (Python's documentation syntax) -
note to self: finally adapt that LaTeX output filter to ConTeXt!
