Just wanted to share a tip I've been using that is pretty nice. Convert
any epub/mobi technical books you are reading to org-mode files and read
them in Emacs. Then you can do nice things like easily cut and paste
portions of the book to org-drill for flash cards or into capture
templates.
The conversion process is different for every book (imagine that), but
not too horrible. Basically, Calibre -> htmlz -> unzip -> pandoc:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
$ cp ~/Calibre\ Library/Metz*/Practi*/*.htmlz ./book.htmlz
$ unzip -q book.htmlz
$ pandoc ./index.html -o book.org
#+END_EXAMPLE
After that I usually have to global convert [[image/foo.png]] to
[[file:image/foo.png]] and add inlineimages to a start-up option on the
file.
