| In the outgoing transformations of the publishing sector new and old, large, medium and small companies are trying very hard to ensure their futures. This is not as easy as you may think, since the grounds under their feet are in constant movement causing serious harm. It may sound trivial, but "What is reading in the digital world?" Prior digital era, reading was a personal event and even with some varying degrees of readers isolation. Content wise, it was always restrict to what was written on the published material. In the digital era, this can still be the case if the reader choses so, but much more can be done. The readers still have full control over his reading but it became just global! We at BookWood, a Brazilian start up decided to face up the challenge and take it face on with this critical question on our minds! Our approach to have a winner App is to win over the readers with cleaver, innovative, fun, enjoyable and knowledgeable reading. Once we succeeded in win over the readers, self-publishing authors, writers, bloggers, companies and publishing professionals will join up the community. We are doing it by first giving the reader o lot of new and patented things for him to use as he reads. First our BookWood will open all file formats available. We think that file format is not a very clever way to guarantee your client basis. Second, the reader will have full control over the e-Reader with no strings attached. We want our reader staying with us because we deserve this honor due to our good and hard work! The most innovative aspect of BookWood is our ability to make the reader to take a virtual trip as he reads to the places mentioned on the reading. This is done by an easy to use link with Google Earth or any other Geo location software. As a reader did you ever wonder "I really would love to see this place!". If you are a reader as voracious as I am, you know that there is no chance to go visit all these places! But you can see them and make your reading more fun, enjoyable and this helps me to better understand some aspect of the reading! Readers all over the world would like to read from a variety of countries, cultures and experiences to enrich the. The reader in the digital era does not need to be restricted on languages, cultures, geographically or any form of restrictions. The reader may have no boundaries or may have as he pleases. In BookWood we decide to fully empower the reader by allowing him the get more information as he reads. The amount of information and from it comes will also be under readers control. In BookWood you can have definitions, translation, make note, and publish them on social nets and much more. Since we think the reader will expand his reading horizons, we decided to help him also in finding his next reading material. So BookWood will have a new visual search tool. As the reader uses BookWood to read, in Google Earth (or any geo software) we will create a layer that will allow readers to select the publication profile he is interested in reading. Once done it, all the reader needs to do is to turn the globe to the place he wants to find his reading and start clicking on the icons! Each icon is a small information window and link. If the reader likes what he reads, click to go the page. So with all these and more, we truly believe that the readers will choose BookWood as his main and most used e-Reader. BookWood will be available in the future to all OS and hardware. We also will develop special versions of BookWood for Education, Comics 3D and Reading Socially. BookWood for education is a new form of making the students more interested in each class by showing him the places related to the class and let him to search specific sites related to the class. The system will also allow teachers and parents to reactive reports on student use and places visited. BookWood for Comics 3D is new form of comics where by using the Open GL platform, comics writers will be able to develop a full story in 3D in one or several files. On the device, the screen will be split into two. The 2/3 upper part will display the 3D files. In the 1/3 bottom part the window will display the text of the story with no limitation on length and details. Each comic box in a traditional comic will be translated into a scene in this new version. A sequential of scenes will make the story. The text and scenes will be synchronized using flags, so the reader reads the scenes above change to fit. If the reader changes the scene, the text will change to fit. This allows also for small special movements to be placed along the story, like opening a box and a rabbit comes out! Social reading is our version of BookWood to the share writing. You will need to wait a bit to enjoy it! BookWood Seeking to Make your Reading Experience more Fun and Enjoyable is a post from: E-Reader News |
