dear liu,
please always reply to the mailing list and not only individual people. thanks.
Dear Axel,
Thanks very much! The manual looks wonderful on web browser of my smart
phone. Sorry, I never thought of that before.
you should thank my colleague richard berger (and the python/sphinx
developers) for that.
richard set this up using the sphinx toolchain used to document python
(and many other things by now).
However, because maybe I may not have internet access sometimes like
during a travel, I still want to convert the manual to an epub file. I did
some search, but unfortunately I did not find the right way to do that.
Could you please give me some more detailed information about converting the
manual to an epub file?
i just generated a pull request that adds this functionality to
LAMMPS, so that with an upcoming release, you'll be able to generate
such a file yourself. generate LAMMPS manual in ebook format by akohlmey · Pull Request #230 · lammps/lammps · GitHub
right now, i've been able to generate an e-book directly via sphinx
and then convert this file to mobi format (for Amazon's Kindle
readers) using the ebook-convert tool from the "calibre" e-book
managment software.

Dear Axel,
Thank you very much!
I clicked 'respond' instead of 'respond to all'. Really sorry for that.
I am looking forward to the upcoming release, that sounds great!
I have used calibre to convert e-book to epub or mobi format for several times. However, I am not aware how to generate an e-book via sphinx, although I glanced at the web page and manual of sphinx. Do I need to install sphinx on my computer? Is there any simple process that can been followed? Could you please give me some more instructions about this? Thanks a lot!
Best Regards
Liu

look at doc/README
LAMMPS already uses sphinx to build the html format documentation. the
only prerequisites for that are python3 and virtualenv and internet
access.
