This is one of the reasons I like CC. Even the most restrictive Creative Commons license, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 explicitly allows format changes as they are not considered a derivative. For everything else, I just write scripts that generate ebooks. https://creativecommons.org/faq/#when-is-my-use-considered-an-adaptation https://creativecommons.org/faq/#when-is-my-use-considered-a... > Note that all CC licenses allow the user to exercise the rights permitted under the license in any format or medium. Those changes are not considered adaptations even if applicable law would suggest otherwise. For example, you may redistribute a book that uses the CC BY-NC-ND license in print form when it was originally distributed online, even if you have had to make formatting changes to do so, as long as you do so in compliance with the other terms of the license.
