thanks for your ideas...
Let's say we wanted to put HF Java on an iPad and we wanted to take some of the static stuff and turn it into video or interactive stuff. I guess what we're really looking for is more of a data presentation engine - like ePub++.
So I was thinking that a 4GL-ish approach might be a way to easily make an engine. Of course one could make an engine using obj-c and cocoa but that sounds like a fairly big project.
Ah, one of those more dymanic ebooks that makes reading on an iPad better than a Kindle. ;)
I know there has to be some tools out there to make the ebook include video etc, I mean they made a big deal about ePub allowing for the integration with videos and other stuff, but when I quickly looked at ePub tags, I couldn't find it or figure it out.
I was able to convert my mother-in-laws pdf book into a ebook to sell on Amazon's Kindle. ;) But that was with a conversion program and then I had to use regex to remove headers and footers in the pdf. Anyway...
I wish I knew about software that would do exactly what you are looking for.
