HyperBook
EBook designed as structured HyperText to make it easy to read at varying levels of detail. You start with a summary (Thin Book?), read a bit more from the chapters that sound promising, jump into a section that has a good case study, jump over to a related section referenced in the study, etc.
- maybe the summary/Thin Book is available as a Printed Book.
HyperScope could probably do some of this. But a human editor would have to do most of it (meaning write summary hooks differently than they would be written for linear print).
Would a WikiBook work? Or a WikiEbook?
Is marrying it to Social Software part of this? Or related-but-different?
Annotation Systems for it?
Virtual Community around it?
How integrate with other books/communities?
