Non-linear fictions #4

Open llemeurfr opened 4 years ago

llemeurfr commented 4 years ago

The UX associated with non-linear resources in EPUB and items from the resources collection in Web Publications is under specified. This issue is currently a matter of discussion in the Readium community. Such topic joins authoring and reading system issues about presentation / navigation.

May I suggest that this community models in a Note what a non-linear fiction is, and specifies its practical EPUB / WP characteristics (FXL/reflow resources, pagination/no, mandatory navigation links inside resources vs automatic navigation via path history, memory of the last position ...)?

@llemeurfr would you be able to join PCG meeting next week to explain more about this? If you can join the meeting I will put it on agenda.

Sorry I won't be available next week, in vacation.

The open issue (from 2020) was mainly an open question; the question of handling non-linear fiction in Readium was raised by contributors (https://github.com/readium/architecture/discussions/143), but no solution seems good when it comes to EPUB support and Reading System UX.

It may first be good to get more info about the support of this use case by publishers in the PBG. Only if such support exists, then we could analyze the authoring and technical pain points.

Best regards Laurent

Thanks @llemeurfr, and enjoy vacation next week. I think none-linear spine items is very interesting idea for incubation. I wonder when RS navigated to any of none-linear spine item then how RS could navigate out from there. since it's not linear there is not next xhtml after that.

I guess there is some use cases that we probably don't want to make the page appear when user just turn pages from beginning towards end of the book. Maybe some note chapter and so on. But I wonder if there is some recommendation about how to deal with navigation.
