Last spring I put out an experimental ebook for Opportunity, basically trying to navigate this strange new world of self-publishing and ebooks. But I had the greatest difficulty figuring out how to make it available in other formats via that source.
Now I have another approach, using Blurb as a platform. I have made an "Atlas of Curiosity" which can be ordered online in print form, or as a PDF file or an ebook. The PDF works fine and can be read on anything, and I have looked at the ebook versions (.mobi and .epub versions) using apps on a laptop but not yet on a tablet. I'm not sure I completely understand the ebook part of this yet. The atlas consists of the maps which have been shown here on UMSF, though some have been updated since they appeared here (e.g. after the PDS Analysts Notebook gives me extra details about names). It is supposed to go from landing to sol 1950, but actually I wrapped this up 3 days ago so it stops slightly earlier.
I still regard this as an experiment, but if it is successful I will be doing the same for Opportunity (up to sol 5000), and I also have a lunar landing sites atlas in preparation.
If anyone is interested, here is a link:

If you detect any problems with any version of this, please let me know.
