ePub is the format that Apple uses and was a format that I wanted to push the limits on-even if maybe just a little bit. It lacks a lot of control over formatting and was the lowest common denominator. Mobi is the format used on the Kindle and other e-ink readers.

Knowing my preference, I decided to try and put together the e-book in different formats, since each format has its own pros and cons. And so I started down the path of converting the HTML content into other formats. However, an e-book could be created and updated over time. With my intention to add more content, a printed format just wasn't (and still isn't) a practical option. Right away, though, many people asked for the site in an e-book and even a printed format. However, I also released it with the intention of continually adding new content to it until I had reached a point where I had a 'finished product'. After months of writing and not getting enough written, I released what I wrote as a web site. When I first started down the path of writing the SMACSS e-book, I had intended it to be either an e-book or a printed book.

It has been an interesting experience and I thought I'd share a few random thoughts on how things have gone so far.
