[epub] RE: .pdf format

["Mark Brownlow" <mark.brownlow@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm just shooting off for an email-free vacation and I vowed I'd stay out of
any online discussions this week, but...

Adam Boettiger asks about .pdf:

Sounds like a good solution to me. If I remember right, the folks at "opt-in
news" tried text and tried .pdf and based on feedback eventually settled on
a text format with a link to the .pdf document for those who wanted to
download and print it. Mind you, they now seem to have gone HTML-only...!
