On: SICP in ePub format on Github

[gnosis]

When I got really in to LaTeX some time back, I manually typeset a 220 page programming book from an HTML edition available for free on the web.

It took me about 100 hours to do. SICP is about twice as long, so I'd guess manually typesetting it should take about 200 hours.

The biggest problem for me is not the actual text, but the graphics, it would be great to convert them to some vector and MathML format

I just took a browse through my copy of SICP and see that the graphics are just diagrams. Crisp and clear diagrams.

They are perfect for conversion to vector format using Inkscape's "Trace Bitmap" feature. Doing this should take you less than a minute per diagram.
