I have started writing an unusual book discussing various topics in computer science by implementing them from scratch. I would like to know your opinion on it! WARNING: It's a very draft version of it!

It's fun, but I'd love an easy .mobi / .epub download, for reading on a Kindle.

Yes absolutely! Unfortunately all tools I've tried so far completely mangled either the code blocks/tables, the chapters in general or simply everything :D No matter if its PDF -> epub or straight website -> epub. Does anyone have something working?

[keyvank → OliverWich]

Have you tried the epub target of the Makefile in the repo? https://github.com/keyvank/tsp

[OliverWich → keyvank]

Unfortunately mathjax_conv.py is missing so `make epub` fails...

[keyvank → OliverWich]

Oops, missed that! It should be there now.

[OliverWich → keyvank]

Thanks, it works now! But the tables are still broken (e.g. in the "Wires" chapter)

[keyvank → OliverWich]

Ah yeah working on it. Hope you’ll like it!

[OliverWich → keyvank]

Nope, completely overlooked that. Thanks!

try "make epub" :)
