I must admit that there is a bit of a disappointement as far as the user experience is concerned: the generated file is barely usable on an iPad2 with the default iBooks reader, which was clearly not designed for handling a "4592" pages book (from its point of view). The table of contents too much detailed, so it is long and slow to scan, and there is no clear shortcut. Flipping pages in the documentation takes ages (well, close to one second or more if I flip a few pages). Do not try "search". This seems to suggest that instead of generating one large ebook, the build should generate a set of ebooks, say one for each part. At the minimum, a less detailed toc could be more usable and help navigate the huge contents. -- Fabien. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
