Description Arthur 2013-10-09 08:52:00 UTC

Description of problem:
The only avaible formats for documentation are:
* html
* html-single
* epub
* pdf
That is good :) but most of these formats are good for reading from desktop monitor. But I have got problems with eyes. So the only variant is e-book readers with e-paper. May be epub is good variant, but I did not meet any reader that works fine with it :(
So, if it is possible, please, add for example fb2-format for documentation!

This is a limitation of our build tool chain (Publican).

I've used several e-paper readers (Kindle and the Sony eReader) and haven't had problems using epub.  What guide are you having problems with and what reader are you using?

Comment 2 Eric Christensen 2013-10-09 13:51:28 UTC

I'm assuming this is what fb2 is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FictionBook

Comment 3 Arthur 2013-10-10 03:13:46 UTC

I have used PocketBook and Digma s605t. PocketBook can work with epub, but sometimes not correct and loads pages very long time. Digma tries to open and goes to reboot.

Yes, it is :) readers I have met works fine with that format, at leasr they load it fast.

Comment 5 Ruediger Landmann 2013-11-13 00:49:20 UTC

EPUB performance is vastly improved in the forthcoming Publican 4.0. 

We might consider fb2 as an extra output format in future.

Comment 7 Arthur 2013-11-13 03:21:17 UTC

That is good! :)

Comment 8 Ruediger Landmann 2014-10-14 04:01:20 UTC

We don't have the resources to do this, so I'm closing the bug. Patches gratefully accepted though!
