Of course, YMMV. > I do most of my reading on a Gemstar e-book reader. So I normally generate a .opf file and a bunch of .html files. From there I can create .imp files for the reader. I can convert directly from .rb files, but I like to put in a gray-scale cover and a few other things. I have a couple of bash and sed scripts that do most of the work. As I side affect, I can give the .opf file to FBreader and it displays the book correctly (with a couple of exceptions). The nice thing about .opf packages is that most book publishing programs will accept them as input.
