I'm rather confused about this "reflowable" thing. Wouldn't the plain text itself be naturally reflowable, or wouldn't it be easy to automate that part?

- ptman 8y agoas opposed to PDF?
- stakhanov 8y agoyeah, it's a technical term. for example the entire amazon kindle toolchain supports two approaches to doing an ebook. one is by converting a pdf (not reflowable), the other by converting a word or html file (reflowable). epub generally means reflowable, so what i said up there was a bit of a pleonasm. a non-reflowable ebook (i.e. stemming from a pdf) also behaves like a pdf on the reading device, e.g. you can "zoom" into sections of the page, but you can't change the font size and still have the text run from side-to-side without scrolling.
