<h3>This Book’s Format</h3>

<p>There is currently just one version of the book. It’s delivered in the PDF format, and in the Golden Ratio aspect ratiomeaning, A4. As we envision it to be read mostly on-screen anyway, we wanted to avoid the additional complexity of also providing a US Letter format. If we meet demand for further versions, doing US Letter is of course an option; however, given there are many ways to improve the documentation, we would also like to understand how adding another aspect ratio of the PDF would benefit the users in practice.</p>

<p>We don’t yet provide the ePub format. Again, if you desire ePub, please educate us as to what added benefits you expect of ePub on top of PDF.</p>
