This is a great idea to use PmWiki to easily create content and to distribute
it in a portable form or format.
An alternative or parallel approach to the same goal may be to write a pmwiki-
to-epub exporter -- the *.epub format is an open standard and widely supported
among e-book readers and tablets:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPUB
BTW, an epub-to-pmwiki-importer may be also doable in order to read the e-
books in one's browser. Even if the dedicated e-book software is sometimes
more comfortable for reading/navigating/anotating than a website in a browser.
