Last year, we set out to make the first truly interactive ebook in Canada. We embraced epub3 as it is the most powerful cross-platform format available at the moment. We love books and believe that epub3 is the first format that allows content creators and book publishers to truly offer superior value to their customers. We just finished a case study on the project and I wanted to share it in the hope that you will find actionable ideas that will spark further creative development in your digital book projects. enjoy :)

epub3 case study

2. from print to digital
If you look at most “interactive” ebook on the market right
now, you will find that they are mostly comprised of a
basic .pdf document with video and audio strapped on top.
We do not believe that this will make the cut.
Consumers have the choice between print & digital
editions. In order to increase adoption and price point, we
need to fully develop digital’s potential and provide a
clearly superior value.

3. adding value with epub3
Last year, we set out to make the first truly interactive ebook. We
embraced epub3 as it is the most powerful cross-platform format.
Defining a digital edition that truly has added value over the print
edition was a design challenge. It required us to understand how
people read and consume content in order to provide an exceptional
reading experience that is truly superior to the print edition.
We hope that in this case study, you will find actionable ideas that will
spark further creative development in your digital book projects.
