Am I going to implement a html > interpreter(browser) which is showing the HTML pages produced by > DocBook? Sorry for being out of the thread for a bit. I've been busy over the past few days. I'd like to clarify here what I had in mind: when you buy a book from O'Reilly or subscribe to the Linux journal, you have the option of getting various formats. For example, you can get an .epub file or a .apk file (or a mobi for Kindle or pdf). The .apk file in this case is basically an ebook but instead of opening an epub reader and then opening the desired epub file, the book appears on your device as an application. When available, I prefer these to epub files, though it may just be that I haven't found an epub reader I like. I find the .apk ebooks to be faster and more convenient for reading books on my phone in odd moments. I don't know anything about these apk files other than that. I'm guessing that they're a lot like epub, but that's just a guess. I can imagine other things you might do with DocBook on Android and those might well be worth pursuing. I'll be interested to hear what you and Jirka come up with, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't confused the issue :-) Thanks, David > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPcesXAAoJEMHeSXG7afUhzk4IAI6q4lnivS2J0/sXLCelM5Oj LTPtvvFGETEjFNlSsWhin6+QqKoC/GlXgGITJTZGv4fLGnrWm/tNFogRxy8jCEnT Px0ySrybYf82BJqVBTOsfcxWhIU2ELTIlwWPBNB+muuVw92GMOYKxUa8N0IJyP1n JTLKqYymYK0GgEREy0VpzwFJT9cyQbkKWA3gcfRvTDwebnS9v7Y6IROxXgPZDrcl MvHzhNjyiuvh4qA8wRK+5p8B2HFsqILJrhFUU6Ma5y1ScdHZlHnSSHUEiTD7LdPM 8xAon6+xXRUvGdGB1twnZCAoi/RGM52KN/ZT4GB1JDsGA06SfdIo5jaC+dXavDw= =VYwa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
