All you ever wanted to know about EPUB 3

The Spring 2011 issue of The National Information Standards Organization (Vol 23, Issue 2) features a number of interesting and worthwhile articles on the future of ebook and ereaders, but none of them are as insightful as a look into the ePub3 format and what the format has to offer ebook readers in the near future!  If you're interested in the future of the ePub format and up for a more of a technical read, it's definitely worth a glance.


EPUB 3: Not Your Father's EPUB (PDF)

Maps for your E-Reader

Nate at The Digital Reader got a letter from a developer who has put together map books for 200 cities around the world for the Kindle, Nook and Sony Readers.  The developer used maps from the Open Streetmap Project  and apparently they work rather well on his K2 despite one or two slight glitches.


You can check out Ebook Maps here.  Unfortunately I can't comment on their accuracy as I've never lived in the 200 cities for which they are available.
