In a nutshell, as part of the
OpenReader Consortium effort, we are interested in an open source application (or plug-in) for authoring simpler types of publications, which allows (almost) pushbutton exporting of the master into a variety of ebook formats including
OpenReader, and do so at high quality. This authoring tool would be focused towards the smaller independent ebook publisher.
I have outlined my thoughts and initial requirements for this tool in a series of three articles posted to
The eBook Community. The articles:
Overview
For Publishers
For Developers
If anyone here is interested in pursuing this with us, let me know! I can be reached at
