From May 2012 onwards, the monthly AIT Newsletter will also roll out
the epub and mobi versions along with the pdf versions. This will make
the Newsletter available on virtually all tablets, smartphones and
e-readers. The epub version can be read on the iPad and iPhone via the
iBooks application, which is available free of charge from iTunes.
The epub edition once loaded in iBooks allows you to copy, edit and
take notes within the Newsletter. It auto-formats the font size and
background, according to the preference of the user and the size of the
display screen. Further the Newsletter will now be available in both
landscape and portrait viewing modes.
The advantage of epub is reflowable content, where the display of text
and images is reformatted and optimized according to the screen size of
the device.
The AIT Newsletter will be published in version 3.0 of epub, which is
the latest, and the standard industry version, and which supersedes the
Open eBook standard. It is an open standard for e-books created by the
International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), and is by far the
industry’s most popular vendor-independent XML-based e-book format. It
can be read on a host of devices including e Kobo eReader, Blackberry
Playbook, Barnes and Noble Nook, and Sony Reader among others.
Android users can read the Newsletter on their smartphones, by using
any e-reader application.
A Kindle version, which has the “text to speech” feature allowing
automatic audio reading by the Kindle device virtually converts the
Newsletter into an audio book.
All these versions can also be read on the desktop using a range of
desktop applications.
