Hi guys,
I was surfing (the web) and came across "e-books". Spent a little time reading their "This will make you a fortune..." etc. sales pitch. Not impressed. However, as I looked at these "e-books" they seem to be made and compiled in an html format. Buttons for navigation, etc. Maybe in a kiosk mode or something. The end purchaser of an e-book gets an downloadable exe file.
I'm wondering your thoughts on this. As in....creating my own e-type-book. How would you go about building one of these? I can imagine flash would be a way, but how about html? and using docs, ppt, etc.
BTW, the cost for the ebook compiler was $29. Then I think you need other add-ons later to make it look less dorky. That's where they get ya......
In any case, I'd love to hear your reaction.
