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.`_
