E-Pub Books - Auckland Conference Followup

Auckland Conference Followup
I'm aware that some of you were at the recent Auckland conference on the
future of the book, where epubs were discussed at some length. We've
started to generate epub format ebooks, and would like some feedback
from people who use epubs on mobile devices or in other contexts.

The epubs we're generating are essentially fragments of our website,
including aspects such as pagination, formatting, metadata and
thumbnails (but not full images, to save on the download size).

If you aren't yet equipped to read epubs but would like to be, check out
http://www.epubbooks.com/blog/epub-software-readers/ and find one that
suits you predilections.
