[BCMA] Looking for information about eBooks

Lynn-

 

Why an eBook? Why not just a PDF? Those are easy to make and to edit. Word
or Open Office can save in PDF format easily.

 

Most eBook-reading hardware will display them fine, and others using
everything from an iPhone/iPad to a laptop would have access too.

 

Just my two cents.

Subject: [BCMA] Looking for information about eBooks

 

Hello,

I am looking for information about eBooks and editing software the could be
used with them.  I recently went to a Chapters with my children and saw that
they were profiling some that were surprisingly easy to read, contained
great images, were easy to handle and use AND could withstand wear and tear.

 

Anyone out there in the museum world work with these yet?  I would want to
be able to create our own eBook that could be modified and edited as need.

 

Any information about software, brand names and hardware would be
appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Lynn
