A few quick announcements.
Oxygen 12.2 now has a docbook to epub transcript built into it. I'll
test it out and write up a report by next week. (I use Liza Daly's
python script, so I don't NEED Oxygen to do the transforms, but it
would be nice if it did --especially to be able to use Saxon parser.
Also: I follow an ongoing twitter discussion about epub production.

(about 10 or 11 AM CST) George Bina from Oxygen will be a featured
guest on the channel, and I'll be adding my two cents. Epub creators
might enjoy this. (I'll post a reminder the day before after I
confirm the speaker and time).
In other news, there are substantial rumors that Amazon will be
accepting & even selling epub files .
http://goodereader.com/blog/tablet-slates/amazon-to-allow-epub-ebooks-on-the-kindle-e-reader/That is a big deal for docbook 2 epub creators. Personally I found
that docbook and mobipocket didn't play nicely together at all. (and I
dont' blame docbook for that). I spent way too much of my time making
the epub work for kindlegen...
