Reading scientific pages on Kindle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system
Pretty much every tool I have tried does convert HTML but fails to convert the math,
in-line LaTEX math seems to work fine,
but the vector-graphic .svg does not:
Here is a list of tools I have tried:
WebToEpub Chrome extension
- Shows tables nicely
- shows images nicely
- converts LaTEX math YES
- SVG NO, shows them as "?", it might be the viewer's problem, I tried a few
- Calibre E-book viewer
- Kindle 7-inch 2022
- Apple Books
- Apple Preview - does not open ePub
EpubPress
- Creates a table of Contents with each Web page included, useless if converting a single page
- fails to convert table borders
- converts LaTEX fine
- drops (does not display) the Vector Graphics (.svg)
dotEpub
- in the non-immerse mode, you can view the first few images only
- results in an error on Apple books
- fails to convert table borders
- converts LaTEX math YES
- on Kindle: SPELLS OUT the SVG formula, not good.
- in Calibre E-book viewer shows SVG nicely!
Summary
- Use print-to-PDF and view it in MacOS Preview on a big screen
- If you read a long MATH and NO-image page, use dotEpub and read in the Calibre E-book viewer
- If you want images, but you do not care for SVG math, WebTOEpub is best.
47-foot Buzzards Bay 30 yacht by Herreshoff
The Aria, HMCo. #566 is a 47-foot Buzzards Bay 30 yacht built in 1902 by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company of Bristol, Rhode Island.
The Beverly, Massachusetts Yacht Club ordered the yachts, which were raced as a class.
The Buzzards Bay 30 class was built to the exact specifications, allowing owners to race in evenly matched boats.

Laminated hardwood boat stem
A great example of how to go from the design drawing to the lofting table, to a holding rig to the strong and accurate boat stem in 24 hours. Great explanation!
My favorite quotations..
“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” by Robert A. Heinlein
