It would be nice to have a version in HTML as well as the two-column PDF which is probably lovely in print but tiresome to read on screen.

I support that. My 7 inches ebook reader does not display 2 columns letter pages very well.
I usually copy & paste HTML in LibreOffice to reformat it. So HTML source would be great :)

Since this book is open-sourced, I want to build a KindleDX-friendly version during my winter vacation (Feb 1-10). Before that, any volunteers from the kindle users? 8-)
BTW, the colored illustrations are really lovely. So sad for every black-white e-ink product owners.

I might give it a try using latex2epub, then covert to mobi. I can not help but want to put good books into e-books on my kindle.

take a look at calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ it's free and will do most e-book conversions.
it also will manage your library and what's on the device if you want.

I know calibre. Paul indeed already has an prototype ebook converted by calibre. But it's not perfect, especially when the source is latex2html the result is terrible ;-)
Paul McKenney's parallel programming book Posted Jan 7, 2011 8:30 UTC (Fri) by PaulMcKenney (subscriber, #9624) [Link] Paul Bone created prototype ebook versions, which I have linked to from the perfbook web page.

My original intent was to provide an HTML version, but the book was too much for latex2html. Suggestions? Or better yet, patches to produce the needed HTML?

I suggest you try hevea.

Thank you for the pointer -- I will give it a try.
