PDF is great and portable. HTML versions are also portable and can do some really nice things as well but ePub is powerful and in this ever growing mobile world of Smart Phones, Tablets and eReaders, would provide such a great option for the documentation sets. There are many ePub reading options and more every day. I will touch on what would be possible with ePub should it be available to upload into Google Books (or better yet, seeing as the Doc sets are available free on our websites anyway, available in Google Play Book store). Things available in Google Books to ePub not available in PDF documents: 1) Notes - You can highlight text and write notes against it. 2) Bookmarks - You can bookmark a page to come back to later. 3) Definitions and Translations - Highlight a word and you can do a google search or get a definition for it. You can even translate it. 4) (On Android anyway) Read aloud - Okay, the usfulness of this could be questionable but the option to have it read aloud to you is there. 5) Syncing - all these things, as well as your current place your up too is sync'd across your devices and the web 6) Available anywhere - Offline on your device or online on any of your devices or desktop via the Web Reader. As you can see, there are many options that are available and this is just in Google Books. Amazon Kindle and iBooks probably have their own feature. I have done this under the OpenEdge heading but of course, all documentation in this format would be outstanding. JMTC Molly
