It said: “this is a replica of the print book and you will need a pen and paper to complete the exercises.”
Is that the same as a print replica or is it something else?
When I downloaded the sample to my Kindle for iPad, I noticed that the text was not selectable nor was it searchable.
But when I download this book: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Seen-Cura.../dp/B0957QMJN9
The text was searchable and selectable.
Do the two books have different file formats? |
When I look at the sample files, the both appear to have been created from a fixed layout ePub3 file. All the references I've seen to print replica have not mentioned using FLO ePub3 ebooks as an input.
The difference is the first ebook is nothing but a collection of images being displayed full page. There is no text to search. The second ebook has a mix of text and images with the text being hidden but duplicating the text from the images making it searchable.
From one file in the second ebook, the first line after displaying the image makes all the text hidden:
Code:
<div style="height: 737.01px; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; visibility: hidden; white-space: nowrap; width: 593.01px; z-index: 1">
And this is a sample of the text matching the text in the image:
Code:
<div style="height: 29.26px; left: 92.23px; position: absolute; top: 95.2px; width: 351.66px">
<span style="display: inline-block; width: 131.78px">Curator</span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 17.28px"> </span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 114.3px">Lauren</span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 16.45px"> </span><span style="display: inline-block; width: 71.84px">Tate </span>
</div>
This basically displays the line reading Curator Lauren Tate on page 8.
