It is a nice format. But until my Kindles and Kobos can read it, I would never use it to consume content.

- geraldbauer 7y agoIn theory (and practice) you can also (easily) create "classic" epubs or mobis from the Manuscript book source (it's just a meta datafile and structured text). One dream would be to have all Gutenberg books in Manuscripts - it's only a small step from "plain" text to structured text. I'd say way easier than to convert everything to HTML source as Standard Ebooks project is doing - https://standardebooks.org https://standardebooks.org - for example. Anyways, books in (structured) text (formats) will outlive all formats and will still work even without special ebook readers. It's a format like the alphabet (that is, it's forever). If you read it on paper or on a screen or as a codex (paged) or as scroll - it's all possible by design. Anyways, thanks for your kind words.
