Apple launched the iPad yesterday and so now the debate rages about the device as an eBook reader. Here is whatBen Elowitz, is saying over at Techcrunch.
The really good news is that the iPad supports ePub so Pagetoscreen can help you make eBooks in this format.
The iPad will support the popular ePub format and authors will be able to embed multimedia such as photos, videos, and audio files directly into books. That’s a cool feature for standard books and an outstanding feature for textbooks. Imagine your history book containing video and audio snippets.
Independent bookseller, Foyles, will begin stocking Sony Touch and Pocke ereaders and the BeBook Mini 5" reader. Additionally, the bookseller will open its own ebook webstore with 57,000 titles in EPUB and PDF formats.
