I tried http://ebook.online-convert.com/convert-to-epub
but what comes out is pretty crappy since we do lose a lot of formatting in an epub format.

Too bad. Although it is possible to read books, articles, and so on from formatted PDF's on tablets and computers, it is definitively *not* the future of online reading. Well done epub is already a lot better, but even that leaves lots of room for improvement. (Is something as fundamental as a page even a valid concept ?) In the end, it is all just a huge amount of work.

This should be made into a Jenkins job I think so that we can have the PBE2 and other books in PDF form for easier dissemination.
you are right. Here is one:
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/DeepIntoPharo/
the only missing piece is the automated upload to GForge (http://pharobooks.gforge.inria.fr/PharoByExampleTwo-Eng/). I'm working on it.
It would be great to have something like https://github.com/danchoi/kindlefodder in the book CI pipeline... :D
I know I'm asking without giving anything back, but at least that way I'd read it! :) (and Kindles/ebook readers are more common every day).
