How hard is it to convert to multiple e-reader formats including PDF?
That is actually a pretty good point. If our Wiki is good enough in terms of content, we can try and figure out how to automate creating a book. Well, fully automatic would probably be hard - a book would need a bit of layouting. But having all the content on the wiki, then using it for a complementary book - I think that's the way to go.
E-readers have not yet taken off in Australia and I wouldn't buy a Kindle anyway. (It's only a matter of time before Amazon starts sticking advertising at random through your books.)
Other handheld devices - 7 inch tablet/pads, Nintendo DSI XL.....

We can offer it as a free book or charge a small publishing fee through Amazon and funnel a few bucks into the future openSUSE Foundation.
The potential opportunities abound here!

P.S. When I say Kindle or Nook, I mean in their book formats, not sending to it as a PDF. For two reasons 1) PDF documents incur a charge to the user and 2) PDF formatting on Kindle REAAAAAALLLY sucks and is not very accessible for low-vison users. So we would do a disservice not publishing in native format that allows all users to be able to read it.
