Is there a “standard” for Linux eBook formatting along the lines of man-page and info-page formatting?

I was about to download the ebooks until I got to this page where a short description is written about each book. The English is so bad in the book description that it is damn near impossible to read. No offense, the author of the descriptions could be a genius with computers but these are books intended to be read by humans and if they are written even remotely as poor as the description.

It would take me days to finish a page and that would be the result of guessing which words were intended, reversing the syntax, and skipping the random dangling pronouns that together reads like master Yoda on meth (“system operating in Linux great works for things many do users average…”) WTF?

I couldn’t tell if the author of the books was the same person as the one writing the short descriptions on this page so not risking becoming spam bait to download 1000 pages of incomprehensible with great polished titles.

Piece of advice: don’t become a writer in a language until you can read and write that language…

Yeah, was going to download a eBook and take a look – but, filling out the form (on mobile) bored me to death and had to give it up, meh.
