Last week I bought a couple books, not ebooks. I considered buying the ebook, but don't want to need a special device/appliance to read it. I'd much prefer to read ebooks on the Linux (CentOS) machine I'm already using.
Also, I'd like to be able to programmatically convert the ebook into a format I can edit myself, e.g., HTML.
I have no experience owning or purchasing ebooks. Could people who have clue me in on how they work and if the above is possible.
Thanks much.
