Just wanted to share a tip I've been using that is pretty nice. Convert any epub/mobi technical books you are reading to org-mode files and read them in Emacs. Then you can do nice things like easily cut and paste portions of the book to org-drill for flash cards or into capture templates.
The conversion process is different for every book (imagine that), but not too horrible. Basically, Calibre -> htmlz -> unzip -> pandoc: #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE $ cp ~/Calibre\ Library/Metz*/Practi*/*.htmlz ./book.htmlz $ unzip -q book.htmlz $ pandoc ./index.html -o book.org #+END_EXAMPLE After that I usually have to global convert [[image/foo.png]] to [[file:image/foo.png]] and add inlineimages to a start-up option on the file. -- Kyle Sexton
