Thank you for sharing your insights. Can you share more details about what issues you with epub/mobi for generating technical books? Do you have any experience with machine learning and math content? If generating epub/mobi for technical books is a problem I am guessing it would be even more of a problem to generate good looking epub/mobi with math content.
For those who write eBooks, what is the best output format? I am planning to write a introductory book on deep learning which is going to contain a lot of math and code. I find LaTeX as the best way to author math stuff but I don't know if I can generate .mobi and .epub files from it.
Are the .mobi and .epub formats even worth it?
Would it be simpler to just output an A6 format PDF that can be viewed alike on desktop as well as eReaders?
If you are going to react so disproportionately to the mere suggestion of FP, I am sorry, it is difficult to take your anecdote or opinion seriously.
