Creating e-books online
As reported by the Free Range Librarian, the Institute for the Future of the Book has announced the upcoming release of its Sophie software:
Sophie is an open-source platform for creating and reading electronic books for the networked environment. It will facilitate the construction of documents that use multimedia and time in ways that are currently difficult, if not impossible, with today’s software.
I haven’t yet waded through the 13 page PDF explaining all the ins and outs, but from an intial once over it looks pretty cool.
