Publishers Hustle to Make E-Books More Immersive | Underwire | Wired.com - 1 views

immersive eBooks

shared by anonymous on 10 Apr 12 - No Cached
  • Gianopoulos, like Havard, envisions future e-books as far more social experiences, incorporating what he calls “literary Farmville” aspects. For instance, secret chapters could be unlocked as a person’s friends read a book.
  • Apple’s iBooks 2 software, but previously many turned to making individual apps to incorporate certain features (the recently released Chopsticks — which offers photo albums, videos and songs — is an app). HarperCollins took that approach with last year’s app for The Art of the Adventures of Tintin, as did Penguin Books’ much-lauded app of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. And an immersive retelling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is also being released as an iPad and iPhone app on April 26.
  • publishers forming partnerships with Foursquare that could reveal clues to readers who check in at certain locations.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • “Multimedia is more than a tie-in — done right it becomes a new kind of product entirely, a hybrid of book and film, or Facebook page and TV show, or something no one else has even thought of yet,” Giarraputo said in an e-mail to Wired.
  • author Mel Bosworth’s Freight as an e-book that electronically built on the choose-your-own-adventure format, creating a narrative that could be told in more than one way (Chopsticks incorporates a similar feature).
  • Chronicle’s Jones estimates it will be anywhere from two to five years before publishers will really have an idea which devices their readers are gravitating toward — and thus which platforms the publishers should create for — but she hopes the revelation comes sooner rather than later.
  • The app version of The Survivors, the first in a series of five books, integrates audio files of the music her characters are listening to (some of it produced by Chafie), pictures of the designer clothes they’re wearing, links to the characters’ Twitter accounts (Havard mostly runs them herself) and Google Maps of the places they visit.

    "That's where jQuery UI Touch Punch comes in. Touch Punch works by using simulated events to map touch events to their mouse event analogs. Simply include the script on your page and your touch events will be turned into their corresponding mouse events to which jQuery UI will respond as expected."
