Read my Palm, redux

Having so enjoyed the experience of reading eBooks on my Palm, I became obsessed with the idea of learning how to create my own eBooks for the Palm Reader. I downloaded all the software I needed, then spent the weekend crafting a Perl script that would let me convert a given set of HTML pages into properly formatted PML, and thus to create a well-formed eBook.

Not to put too fine a point on it, it worked like a charm. I've now made several of the features at my Web site available as eBooks, which I can regenerate fairly easily if I ever update those pages. I've created a directory here for quick reference.

I'm kinda proud of myself.
