I couldn't build it on my laptop. I'd have to install 3.5Gb of Tex dependencies to do it so I'll pass.

Me, either. Tried on OSX. Thought I'd get away with installing ~ 0.5 Gb when I read up about everything, but still run into problems.

This is a book people. I shouldn't really need to compile it; even if I absolutely must, it should be at least possible, if not fairly straightforward. Disappointing.

It is not finished, so they haven't released a complete version yet, but previews of the individual chapters are on their website: http://aosabook.org/blog/

I was able to build on OS X with Fink's texlive. Output seems to be the same as the PDF already posted here (in a Dropbox link).

No joy on epub, mobi, or html.

As opposed to what, exactly? txt files?
