Hi,

The best reader imho is iBooks on the iPad, nothing e= lse, from what I've seen, comes close. But that is one expensive eReade= r. :(

We'll just have e= verybody in the world who has a Kindle, Kobo, or other reader exchange thei= r existing hardware, and then purchase an iPad plus iBook. Problem solved? = ;-)

ConTeXT TeX reading xml -> export -> optional transf= orm -> EPUB + CSS*
you want 'd= irect epub html from context' (no xslt) but on the other hand use xslt = to map onto context while context can do xml directly ... chicken egg

Well, given that ConTeXt doesn't actually produce v= alidating EPUB documents, I suspect not many people will actually use that = feature. It's great in theory, but if it produces books that don't = actually work on the Kindle or Kobo, then it's unusable in practice -- = never mind not being able to add the books to online marketplaces (such as = Amazon) because, again, the output does not validate.

Kind regards.
