electronic book specification | |
|
|

|
::
|
The goal of the specification is to quickly
create a critical mass of compelling content. A publisher will be able to
format a title once according to the specification and the content will
be compatible with a wide variety of reading devices. To ensure that consumers
will have access to reading materials from different publishers in a single,
universal format, the Open eBook (OEB) Authoring Group today released the
final version of the Open eBook Publication Structure 1.0, based on HTML
and XML. Different people define electronic book (eBook) differently. For some, an eBook is the content you read (a "paperless" digital version of a book, article or other document). The Open eBook Specification defines this as the OEB Publication. For others, an eBook is what you read on, such as a personal computer, either desktop or portable, a palm size computer, or a dedicated eBook reader designed for viewing and reading electronic books. The Open eBook Specification defines this as the Reading Device. |
