How could i add to a blog or site in general a feature that let users export the content to epub format or some other open ebook formats?

It's not a feature that i normally see on most of the site i browse every day (some has export to pdf that is not great as ebook format), do you think it is feasible?

I own an ebook reader and reading saved html to pdf pages is not so good.

I'm searching for a general solution here so i have not specified any specific technology; if you have some sites that offer this feature i would like to try them.

thanks
