Abstract

The recent developments in the digital publishing domain have promoted the use of open formats for digital publishing. This paper presents a study that has been carried out using the EPUB 2.0 format along with HTML5 and JavaScript technologies showing how a digital book can embed HTML5 applications that interact with the user and report back to a publishing server (reader/student analytics).
