The Design and Construction of eBooks

I’ve been creating ebooks since 1998, building the web site eBooks @ Adelaide from a proof-of-concept single text into today’s popular collection of nearly 3,000 works. In that time — almost 15 years as I write — I have learned a great deal. I blush now to think of the earliest efforts, and today’s books are several orders more sophisticated in their design and construction than my first attempts.
In this short book I have attempted to distill everything I’ve learned along the way. It may encourage others to contribute to the world of ebooks: so much the better for the world. There is a great wealth of books out there waiting to be made available in accessible formats.
