![]() ![]() The solution for ePub production that I came up with looks like this: ![]() ![]() If we want more people to learn math, we have to make math textbooks readable on mobile. Modern publishing is all about reflowable formats like HTML and ePub. The problem is the fixed-width layouts of PDF files are not a good fit for mobile screens and eReader devices with varying screen sizes. Historically, the primary tool I used to produce the No Bullshit Guide textbooks has always been the pdflatex, which is the most common way to produce PDFs in the LaTeX ecosystem. The generation of the other formats is standard. Each box represents a different markup format and the arrows indicate the software used to convert between formats. The end-to-end book production pipeline looks like this:įigure 1: The eBook production pipeline described in this blog post. Read on to watch the “How it’s made” episode about math eBooks. I feel this ought to be recorded somewhere for the benefit of other STEM authors and publishers who have LaTeX manuscripts and want to convert them to. In this blog post, I want to share what I’ve learned about generating ePub and Mobi files from LaTeX source files that contain lots of math equations.
