I find it very convenient to load documentation on an e-reader. PDF isn't the
only format to consider, either. EPUB and MOBI (for the Kindle) often work
better.

You could also use scribble to render a manual as a single HTML page
(plus CSS files and images). Then you can use a program like Calibre to
convert the HTML to ePub.
Here's the command I used to render the Racket Guide:

--dest /tmp/guide/ \

It sounds like a bad idea to me. Calling it 'planet-version' makes it
sound like it answers the question "who am I?", but the planet/version
library already provides a way to do that that avoids the obligation of
manually updating the definition after (or is it before?) every release
to PLaneT.

Pardon my lack of knowledge. I haven't gotten interested in e-readers yet. But
if this is true for all e-readers, then perhaps we should generate a second set

Thank you!
For reading on an eBook Reader an overall larger font (e.g. at 14pt)
would be more pleasant! "Times" is terrible for sizes smaller than 12pt!
I would generate a pdf version with a font size at 14pt
using Palatino/Consolas, if I could do it myself.

I pretty much add things to the science collection as people - particularly
me - need them. My integration needs have always been for ordinary

Would it be a good idea to officially add to "info.rkt" a
"planet-version" variable, which indicates that the directory tree
corresponds to a particular PLaneT package and version?
For example:
(define planet-version 'joebob/soundex:1:=2)
The "=" in this example is optional.
