IFBook has released [SophIe], a Hyper Media authoring/reading environment. Open Source and multi-platform. Its file format is XML. Wow, it's built with Squeak Small Talk! Sophie is software for writing and reading rich media documents in a networked environment. Sophie's goal is to open up the world of multimedia authoring to a wide range of people and institutions and in so doing to redefine the notion of a book (EBook) or "[Academic Paper]" to include both rich media and mechanisms for reader feedback and conversation (Social Media) in dynamic margins.
There are samples.
[Bob Stein] notes how it differs from Presentation Software.
Hmm, the contained document just smells so dead to me... isn't it all about a Thinking Space bleeding into the whole Two Way Web?
