I’ve been involved in making beautiful and interactive fixed layout ebooks since before there was a standard for such things. But trust me, this one is different… It is truly the finest example of interactive children’s story telling I have ever seen, it contains custom movies on every spread, background audio, professional narration and read aloud text highlighting, placed web code, personalisation, interactive animations and puzzles!
I do count myself lucky that I worked in publishing for quite a while before I started developing publishing tools for Circular Software. But even whilst working at a large publishing house I was often frustrated at the pace that things (didn’t) happen. For those who come to publishing tech from outside the industry they cannot believe just how slooooow things are.
