I did google but then I got bored

I assume someone somewhere has done a 4E D&D character sheet in EPUB. I have not been able to locate such, though. Pointers?

I haven't seen one, but this is just so the post doesn't look so lonely.

I presume EPUB format is documented somewhere. I know Firefox has an optional plug-in that can read EPUB, so I presume it's documented.

Oh, it's XHTML and a subset of CSS. Given that hint, you should be able to (a) find an XHTML version of the character sheet; (b) tweak it to handle the appropriate CSS; and (c) convert it to EPUB. Does Caliber do that sort of thing?

Having been doing some research the other day - if you have MS Word installed, Calibre can convert a DOC (and maybe a DOCX?) file to an ePub.

Which leads me to the question of converting my Spirit of the Century character to a good ebook sheet. The version I'm currently using has columns and tables in the columns - I have no faith in that surviving into an ebook format. I'll have to look into that.

Thank you! I can work with that.
