+
+This is just collection of alternatives to EPub for electronic
+books and similar stuff.
+
+* Why to have alternative to EPub: `The publishing industry has
+  a problem, and EPUB is not the solution`_ ? … the author (Jani
+  Patokallio) has a bit of problem confusing EPub with DRM, but
+  otherwise his point that ZIP archive of HTMLs would do at
+  least as well as EPub is a valid one. Except of course there is
+  absolutely no reader for such animal.
+
+* `Portable Documents for the Open Web (Part 1)`_ (`part 2`_ and
+  `part 3`_) how this is seen by the publishing industry (by the
+  chairman of IDPF).
+
+* `Forest of evergreen notes`_ … personal storage of knowledge,
+  quite related to the concept of `public Zettelkasten`_ by `Andy
+  Matuschak`_. Right, Zettelkasten_. There I also learned `Why
+  You Should Set Links Manually and Not Rely on Search Alone`_
+
+* Wildly inaccurate prediction `Why e-books will soon be obsolete
+  (and no, it’s not just because of DRM)`_, which however is
+  interesting read on the faulty business practices of the
+  current publishing industry.
+
+* Daniel Glazman wildly disagrees with the current trends in `Web. Period.`_
