Comment Re:Arbitrary eBook reading? (Score 1) 374
I've tried this and it works well. I have a bunch of plaintext files (that I typically convert to PDF using LaTeX). I pasted the text into some XHTML files, created an ePub by hand, and imported it to iTunes. It synced just fine to the iPad and looks very nice in iBooks.
I'm now working on putting together a little Perl script to automate this so I can generate an ePub every time I generate the PDF.
