HTML to ePub and back, partial success

What I’d like to accomplish with epublishing software:

  1. Convert an intriguing site (Python for Fun) from html to epub to enable easy mobile or tablet reading while offline. Automate that process for future sites which I enjoy and which have far more content than I can consume in one sitting.
  2. Convert an existing PDF (Children of the Ark) document into a living editable wiki/web site. There are plenty of static PDFs which beg to be opened for editing by the public. Our game beta is just one of them.
  3. Convert select topics and posts from this blog into a transportable epub friendly format. I often refer to earlier blog posts. It’s fun to review what and how I thought before, and how my understanding has changed with time. Some readers prefer focused batches of content in pamphlet and book forms. I should be able to easily deliver that by organizing a few dozen posts into bundled ebook content.
