Abstract

For those of you who know my work, I don't publish in inaccessible format. I had to throw this notion out the window when it came to writing a book with interactive content. Since the publication of my interactive book as a sort of but not quite accessible PDF book, I've delved into using both iBooks Author and ePub format to produce the book. I needed to find an accessible but secure way of distributing the book with interactive content. Interactive books are here to stay and my goal in this new frontier is to ensure that they are accesible. As usual, this turns into another great digital adventure!

Kepoints

  2. Interactive content in the iBook format: strengths and weaknessess.
  3. Interactive content in the ePub format: strengths and weaknessess.
