The Gentoo documentation is generated from XML, so creating something to generate a .epub (which is just a bunch of zipped .html files) shouldn't be too hard. That said, I have had great success using Instapaper to create .epub from .html. If you coupled that with a service which creates RSS feeds by watching static pages for changes, you could have an updated epub every time the RSS got an update. Easy! * Steven covered everything else :)
