VCBE in EPUB. Kindle, not yet.

I have added an EPUB file to the Version Control by Example homepage.  This e-book format seems to accommodate most readers except the Kindle.

In general, this book doesn't translate to e-book formats nearly as well as a novel. Throughout the book, I used a lot of illustrations, source code listings, and color.  If the rendering of these things on my iPad is typical, then I would say that they made the journey to EPUB in acceptable but not perfect condition.

But for now I cannot say the same thing about the Kindle.  My initial attempts to create a Kindle version have been incredibly disappointing.  The resulting e-book just looks awful.  If and when I come up with a Kindle version that looks decent, I will make it available.
