Working with the website. * epub source * extract.sh that does all the extraction and cleaning (quite a bit of debugging to make sure html is well-behaved for next/mdx) * images for the text in site/public/img/sewtha (could be nicer to keep these with the text and copy over in build ...)

See this 2017 article on Carbon Commentary with concrete suggestions https://www.carboncommentary.com/blog/2017/3/30/l6qcqgoedse1wmjjz87t09usoq6jva and associated thread on ycombinator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14009057
