We’re trying to produce an epub document that includes videos hosted on YouTube. Can this be done? Ideally, we’d like to have a page that includes a video thumbnail. When you click the thumbnail, the video will play (because the reader will be online). We tried embedding the video itself but that made the document file size too big. We’re hoping to include 20 – 30 videos in the document. Any help much appreciated.
