Might be useful at some future point, particularly with regard to links to tools to convert other file formats to epub – even if I don't get an iPad (and I think we all know that's unlikely) it's a standard supported by a lot of ebbok readers, and I definitely do want an ebook reader.

Bugger. Eating at ElBulli was pretty much the top spot on the "things to do before I die" list, and yeah, he's going to re-open, but it's still an experience I'm unlikely to ever get to have, in it's current form. I shall revise it to "Eat Ferran Adria's food", but it's still saddening.
