[OS X TeX] LaTeX to ePub Format ???

[Alan T Litchfield]

Sam,

Assume you have seen this?

http://www.lexcycle.com/faq/how_to_create_epub

Conversion to html or RTF may be required since epub is only really  
xhtml and xml. Calibre seems to be the way to go but you'd need to  
convert to rtf or html before converting to epub.
