Designing ebooks for ePub reading engines
by Liza Daly
Slides and notes from my talk at BookNet Canada Tech Forum 2010 are posted.
Instead of becoming alarmed at the proliferation of ereaders and ebook softwares, designers and publishers should be thinking about the two dominant ePub reading engines: Adobe Mobile Reading SDK and WebKit.
This talk will help ebook producers understand what a reading engine is and how this framework can greatly simplify ebook crafting, design and testing.
