You don't have to be an Apple loser to think ePub is nice. There are ePub
reader programs in Linux which allow all you say :-)
And yes, is convenient for almost anything (except printing).
And yes, you can have your ebook reader on the side, almost as you had the
printed programming manuals in times passed.

To get from texinfo to ePub, the easiest way is, I guess, to converto to
split (x)HTML files, pack the result in a 'sofisticated' ZIP
file,(sophisticated in the sense that you have to add a couple more XML
files to it) and rename it to .epub

Wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a smallish program to do that...

Best, /PA
