I'd like to read this book on my Kindle. I found the ebook on NoStarch Press but I don't want it. Not because of money but because it's outdated. It contains information for Rust 1.21 but the latest version is 1.28.

So I need some way to get the current book into a ebook readable format. I tried to google but killercup/trpl-ebook does not support the 2018 book. Saving the book into PDF in chrome works but my reader can't read it - it shows the PDF as empty after page 12 (the PDF is fine but amazon conversion for PDFs is bugged).

Unfortunately I was unable to find any other ways. Any ideas?

Check this link: https://github.com/kaajo/book/tree/e-books - there are generated epub files.
I submitted pull request today so hopefully we will have this feature in official repo.

Very nice, thank you!

I found a small issue. Some labels are missing in the table of contents:

It's most likely caused by the headlines being split to two lines in some cases:
