Han Mitakuyapi,<br /><br />I uploaded one of our books on Scribd. It's called Zitkanna. Can someone tell me if they can read it?<br /><br />Tammy DeCoteau<br />AAIA Native Language Program<br /><br />

Worth looking into. Sorry I can't get into more detail but am involved in teacher training at the moment.

<div>For something simple, I think using a PDF reader is an easy way to go. I use GoodReader to read PDF documents on iOS.</div>

<div>Hi Phil,<br /><br />there are currently three formats that dominate the ebooks market:<br /><br />1. PDF<br />Advantages: nearly universal support, embeds images, embeds fonts.<br />Disadvantages: does not support reflow/text resize by default.<br />Software: Adobe and many many others.<br /><br />2. EPUB (default format for iBooks)<br />Advantages: supported by vast majority of eink readers and iOS and<br />Android apps, open, xml-based, utf-8 support, seamless reflow/text<br />resize.<br />Disadvantages: not supported by Kindle, limited support for embedding<br />images, unsuitable for content with specific formatting requirements<br />(tables, equations).<br />Software: Calibre (see Claire's message) supports conversion of text<br />files, but some manual steps have to be done to create tables of<br />content. There is a number of commercial tools (Adobe InDesign, Quark<br />XPress, Scrivener, Pages) and services (Lulu > iBooks) which can be<br />used to create epub files, but all you really need is an xml editor<br />and a zip packer.<br /><br />3. MOBIPOCKET 7 (essentially the same format used by Kindle).<br />Advantages: xhtml-based, seamless reflow/text resize, supported by<br />Kindle hardware and apps.<br />Disadvantages: closed (owned by Amazon), most likely moribund, limited<br />support for non-ASCII alphabets, limited support for images.<br />Software: Calibre can convert between mobipocket and other formats,<br />Kindle Publisher Tools .<br /><br />A fourth format can be added to this list, though I have not yet had<br />any experience with it:<br /><br />4. KINDLE FORMAT 8<br />Advantages: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000729511" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000729511</a><br />Disadvantages: closed (owned by Amazon) tbd<br />Software: Kindle Publisher Tools.<br /><br />As always, it all very much depends on the nature of the final product<br />and the mode of distribution (DRM, non-DRM, iBooks, Kindle) and the<br />device (Android/iOS hardware, eink reader). For a straight-up book<br />with text and some illustrations, epub would probably be the best<br />choice. Something more interactive, possibly including audio and<br />video, is best handled by native Android/iOS apps.<br /><br /><br />On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 06:16, Phillip E Cash Cash<br /><<a href=""http://mailto:cashcash@email.arizona.edu"" target="_blank">cashcash@email.arizona.edu</a>> wrote:<br />
