Veronica Liesaputra presenting her PhD work on user-interfaces for eBooks.
This is a Google TechTalk from Google's YouTube channel.
An electronic book is defined as a digital book that not only captures the affordances of a physical book, but also transcends the limitations of its paper counterpart. There is much debate as to whether the use of the book metaphor is appropriate for an electronic document. - Veronica Liesaputra

We have come to think of the WEB as the miracle of the Internet.
But E.B. White, knew that it is nature’s own miracle. The spider that weaves her web, does so with skill and dexterity, and as pointed out in Charlotte’s Web, no one taught her - it just came naturally.
Yes, we just saw the film! Great enjoyment all round and how clever are those computer generated images of Charlotte the spider weaving the words into her web - RADIANT - was my favorite. As radiant as the sunset.

The BBC have recently been showing their new series of Jackanory, the children’s storytime tv show.
When I sat down with my daughter to watch, I was struck by how this production takes many visual clues from computer-based games and CD-ROMs from interactive screen media.
The new Jackanory (on TV since 1965), is built to very high production values with computer graphics. Particularly clever, the mix of the narrator with the animated imagery, bringing the story to life.
This web site is a kind of depository for all the things about getting stuff onto the web.
