Paginated HTML view #82

Open eah13 opened 8 years ago

eah13 commented 8 years ago

Just discovered this and thought I'd drop a link for consideration. Haven't dug in too deeply but seems like this would give a slick paginated feel to the epub and make it readable without installing a reader https://github.com/joseph/Monocle

Quick example of what o book looks like in it: http://monocle.inventivelabs.com.au/books/dubliners

Also seems possible that trinket embeds and any other HTML would work in this view.

(found during my search for a good Chrome epub reader)

You should also look at Readium - it is from the Epub people themselves.

It's the best I've found. The thing I don't like about it is that I have to download and point it to a file (al least on a chromebook) when what I'd love is to be able to view it in a tab in my browser, esp for development.

Changed this issue to reflect what it is: a book-like experience in HTML. The fact that it'd be driven off an epub maybe using the link I dropped above is an implementation detail.
