Replying to bdubbs@…:
Can you cut/paste from an ebook to a terminal?
Obviously, if you had an e-book reading app (e.g. Calibre) on your host, then yes :-) But no, I don't think any e-reader hardware supports copying and pasting from it to a PC.
As for the advantage of doing this, I can't think of any other than being able to read the book on an e-reader device, but isn't that reason enough? (It means I'd be able to proof-read LFS on my travels, when I typically don't have my laptop with me). Steps 1, 2 and 4 above though, would have the advantage of ripping the in-tree copy of some snapshotted version of the docbook stylesheets out of our tree and have us use an upstream-released version, in-keeping with LFS' general attempts to keep up-to-date with upstream packages.
