Thank you @tenpoundhammer, I'm glad you like it! :-) I feel almost every book out there can be re-written to bring impactful visual/substance that's possible only because of the web. There can be cute books written with toddl

Great points! A lot of experience of a book off bubblin depends on what code is written under it and how the author wants to present it. Inverting light/black, zoom, choosing fonts are all easy things to implement here, and those are

Touch it very lightly, like a feather. Or hold it strongly and then roll it along with the page, then take your fingers off. It should work. That it is curling up is the expected behavior so you're just fine there! Mathjax is loadin

I apologize! This particular book uses a lot of WebGL. Does your device support WebGL? Hit me on email marvin [at] bubbl [dot] in and I'll try to fix it now. I have noticed a few hot phones, particularly the Android ones so far, but a

How does > Electronic books are a subset of files follow from > paper books are a subset of "paper with ink on it" ? I'd argue that paper books are not a subset of paper files , therefore, in online realm also electron

So you mean difference between books and files is merely philosophical? Because technically I agree with you that it's only the presentation and nature of 'binding' that makes for all the difference.

For example, a school girl yearns for a 'fairy tale book' Elsa, The Snow Princess and not a 'physical file' from Disney Office.

Owning a book is doable online as well. Clone, provide it to the user who bought it. I'm actually still digging this one but "active internet" connection - yes - that's again doable. Localstorage() /something probab

Yup! And that system need not have two hundred features and formats for the author to learn and master. I've been stoked by the idea for quite sometime.

Technically none, even in the physical world! Both files and books are ultimately made up of {Book | Files} < Content < Paper < Trees. But from a consumer point of view, which is extremely important, files and books in the real wo

Actually it seems correct to me to put books and files in the superset called "objects", but not name that superset "files" by itself. Ownership and portability of a book is one thing that becomes relevant when price inc

I really hope WebGL is adopted for the computation intensive apps, but yes you're right for most consumer needs basic static(-ish) HTML5 format would be sufficient.

Trust me you can provide consumers all of this... 1. Pleasant to work with, 2. Performant enough, 3. Butter smooth usability ... with HTML5 and decent browser support (and significant effort of front-end developers no doubt) without having
