TOC Report: 10 ways to enhance your iPad books
Great writeup from Paul Biba based on a TOC talk by Peter Meyers. A list of easy ways that reading on an active screen can be an enhancement over a static page:
- touch a characters name for a quick summary (or a word for definition)
- highlighting and note taking, and then finding them later
- interactive table of contents that draws you in
- mini books and continuing sitcom type fiction
- integrated and active foot notes (I hate having to go to the back of the book for footnotes)
- And finally ‘Shiny, happy poems’
Obviously this latter could refer to Poem Flow! I’d like to think that flowing text can be another standard enhancement in reading on an active screen…
