CERLALC · Centro Regional para el Fomento del Libro en América Latina y el Caribe. Inkling. Inkling has built a better way to learn. We help doctors diagnose. We help businesses grow. We inspire students to learn. Our technology is now behind some of the world’s most compelling learning systems. Since day one, our founding team has had a vision for the future of learning. As we designed for this new approach, we came to the notion of cards: a chunk of knowledge, rather than a page. We’ve learned a lot since then.

Inkling sets the standard for how learning content is built, and how it should feel. MagicBook. Digital Book World Conference 2012. WingedChariot - Digital Pictures and Words.

The Big List of Android eBook Reader Apps. The Great Big List of Android eBook Apps I first created this list in early 2010 when I was using my Android phone to keep up on books while waiting for my nook to arrive from Barnes & Noble.

I'll make sure to give credit and karma when possible. It's definitely worth noting that =X= has most of this information in the mobileread wiki at this location. That's just in case. Check it out.

EPUB (short for electronic publication; sometimes styled ePub) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).

Files have the extension .epub. EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display device. EPUB also supports fixed-layout content. The format is intended as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale.
