Electronic Publishing

I have been researching some technologies for doing electronic publishing. It is possible to generate content that has the convenience of being distributed over the Internet, yet possessing the look and feel of paper. The best tool I have found so far is found at Desktop Author. I love the technology because you can make books or magazine or brochures. They can contain text, music, pictures, or even videos. And what the reader sees on the screen is book that opens and closes and the pages turn just like a real 3-D, real-world book! Unfortunately the software to create it is not free, but they do allow one to play around with it. Check out the website here.

I have included an example e-book in this post. It's really cool. Just download the plug-in when your computer prompts you. The E-Book is "Apology" by Plato. Thanks!
