The Gentoo documentation is generated from XML, so creating something
to generate a .epub (which is just a bunch of zipped .html files)
shouldn't be too hard.
That said, I have had great success using Instapaper to create .epub
from .html. If you coupled that with a service which creates RSS feeds
by watching static pages for changes, you could have an updated epub
every time the RSS got an update. Easy! *
Steven covered everything else :)
