I agree with the advice others have already offered with respect to "know your audience". If you're convinced the audience could use a little insight into CSS, XHTML, and ereaders, it might be worth considering an appendix for each of those topics so that the flow of your document isn't interrupted for those who don't need those explanatory topics.

Best regards,

Mike

There's an old joke about a little kid who started out a book report "This book tells me more about penguins than I really wanted to know."

In a document talking about how to create ebooks without knowing CSS and XHTML, is it too much to have brief digressions on what CSS and XHTML mean, and why they're important in ebooks? What about a discussion of ereaders, with a section on aspect ratios of screens (which can affect how graphics display)?

-becca, who has been working on this project for far too long now and has lost all sense of proportion.
