Re: [ESWC 2015] First Call for Paper

Kingsley, you can go here (http://idpf.org/epub) for info and specs. And
you can go here (http://www.pressbooks.com) to access the tool I was
talking about in my previous email. EPUB�s intention is indeed to provide
open, �webby� publication. (Though not all vendors want that - and their
rendering engines don�t have to make use of everything that�s provided).
EPUB can be read by (gasp) Adobe Digital Editions, but many like to use
Calibre, which is more open and less proprietary.
