Hi, I like it, but not so much in the browser - I am expecting you will be making some sort of library app or make it possible to export directly to iBooks / epub at some point? If so I think it's great in the browser then exists as a fallback / place to check out the book before you actually put it on your device. In the browser itself the whole book metaphor has always seemed cumbersome - is the code for that modular enough that it could be easily switched out with other interfaces? I am envisioning it as sort of theming the 'book'

Native apps are planned. Here I answer some of these questions about us: https://bubbl.in/faq

I believe that it must be simple for the book writers to create, publish and sell. And probably have an extra legroom for creativity too -- using the power of the web and all that.

I have some rough ideas on where and how we'll proceed towards integration with other formats/platforms. But this is a fairly large undertaking, so I'm gonna need all the help and guidance we can get.

Note, Bubblin is FREE for the authors, a non-profit, so we need financial aid too. Read more about us here and donate if you like:
