As one of the co-founders of the
OpenReader Consortium, I have little to add to David Rothman's comment.
Since I am leading the development of the
OpenReader Publication Format specification, technical questions regarding the use of OpenReader in the dotReader, and how to author OpenReader Publications, should be directed to me at
jon@noring.name . I can be reached by Skype (sometimes) at 'jon_noring', and by phone at 801-253-4037.
Besides a port of dotReader to the iLiad, I am also excited about the prospect of building an ebook authoring application (or plug-in) for simpler publications, which allows (almost) pushbutton exporting of the master into a variety of ebook formats including OpenReader, and do so at high quality. I have outlined my thoughts and initial requirements for this tool in a series of three articles posted to
The eBook Community. Here's the series:
Overview
For Publishers
For Developers
I realize this forum is not be the best place at MobileRead to air the idea of the ebook authoring tool, but if anyone here is interested in pursuing this with us, let me know!
