 ## How does this differ from the previously released versions?
 
-The book is now out of print, and hard to come by. Last time I checked, it was going for over $200 on ebay.

 The version which Michael and Dr. Dobbs released in 2001 was a collection of PDF files. That version is [still available](http://www.drdobbs.com/parallel/graphics-programming-black-book/184404919).  However, the structure (multiple files) and the format (PDF) result in a poor user experience on an ebook reader or other mobile device.
 
-This version has been thoroughly cleaned of artifacts and condensed into something which can easily be converted into an ebook-friendly format. You can read this version online at Github, or download any of the Epub or Mobi releases. You can clone the repository and generate your own version with [pandoc](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/) if necessary.

 Some larger changes could be made to improve the content. I'd love to see some of the images converted to a vector representation so we can provide higher-resolution versions.  Formulas and equations could be typeset with [MathJax](http://www.mathjax.org/).

-> Note: Generating a mobi requires an epub to already exist. Also, mobi generation can be *slow* because of compression. If you want a quick mobi conversion you can just run `kindlegen out/black-book.epub`.
