    How do I create an ePub (or mobi) from LaTeX or PDF?

    Since epub is basically a zip archive of HTML, CSS and image files
    plus a small amount of metadata, I would start by looking for
    something to convert LaTeX to modern HTML.

    Once you have HTML, the next step (generating an epub out of it)
    should be relatively trivial, possibly to the point that you could
    even do it manually.

    There are packages in Debian that will do that for you.
    Some LaTeX editors, like Texmaker, provide direct access to facilitate that.
