Vook just launched a new HTML5 eReader for its eBooks (to try it out, go
to
http://vook.com;
http://www.vook.com will take you to their sign-up
page for writers). The samples I've seen are similar to a conventional
EPUB display with flowable, resizable text plus embedded
rich media. It
can display one or two pages at a time. It also has three layout options
with different typefaces. A nice feature is that
Vook has anticipated
that the eReader will be used on both PCs and tablets, so it supports a
single-page vertical scrolling mode for smaller devices, as well as
two-page mode for desktop and notebook PCs.
The company has dropped its monthly fees and now offers two options for
self-publishers:
- Publish the eBook free of charge to Vook's own eBookstore; the author
gets 85% of revenues.
- Create eBooks using Vook's tools and then pay the company $99 for the
files, which can be uploaded and sold by the author through Amazon,
Barnes & Noble and Apple.
