锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 ----------------------------

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 WHAT IS AN IPB WEBBOOK?

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 An IPB WEBBOOK is an e-book which is translated into an

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 interactive, full-screen website. The goal is to

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 move away from the current "miles of scrolling text"

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 form of e-book to a more practical and fun way of

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 reading books on screen.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 FEATURES INCLUDE

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * A method of keeping your place within the book (a

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 "bookmark") whenever you come back

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * May include original illustrations, fan art, and

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 possibly many other mutlimedia features throughout

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * Easy to read layout, background & interface

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * Offers the option to share with your friends or

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 keep to yourself

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * Extras specific to each book are offered on each

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 IPB WebBook. Extras could include live chats dedicated to

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 the book or genre, forums dedicated to the book,

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 author or genre; detailed biographical portraits for

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 each author, & many more features dependent on each

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 book.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 II. REQUIREMENTS

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 -----------------------------

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 There are no absolute requirements to read an IPB

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 outside of a web browser. However, there are some

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 features I reccomend to ensure that it works as well

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 as it can.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * IPB WebBooks are setup, written and designed for the

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 Internet Explorer Browser ver. 5.0. (or higher).

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 Some features of IPB WebBooks will require you have

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 additional plug ins' like Flash & Quicktime (just

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 like a web site). If you run into problems on a

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 different browser or if a feature is not working,

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 try it on IE 5.0. To "keep your place" in the book,

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 you need to be set up to accept cookies.锟� Numerous

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 features will not work if you are not allowing

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 javascript.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 * IPB WebBooks are designed and tested assuming the

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 Frutiger Linotype, Berling Antiqua and Lucinda Sans

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 Typewriter fonts (MSReader Fonts) are installed on

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 your system. These fonts can be downloaded at the

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 IPB Books website (http://www.ipbbooks.com).

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 You can also get the fonts by downloading a free

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 program called MSReader by Microsoft, available

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 at download.com . (just search for "microsoft

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 reader").

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 MSReader will install the fonts. If you don't like

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 the program, feel free to uninstall, the fonts will

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 remain.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷All IPB WebBooks will work regardless of whether you

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 install these fonts. Instead, your browser's default

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 font will be used. Aside from improved overall

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 appearance, certain text formattings within the books

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 are dependent upon you haveing these fonts installed.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 V. SERVING YOUR IPB WEBBOOK

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 ---------------------------------

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 It's quite easy to serve your IPB WebBook "live" so

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 that others can read it "live" as well. Of course,

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 it can also remain on your hard drive, where only

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 YOU can read it. But if you want to make it

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 available to others as a web site...

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 1) Many (nearly all) ISPs offer free web space to

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 their customers. Check to see if your's does and

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 follow their instructions to set up the space.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 2) Once your storage/web space is available, simply

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 upload the folder you unzipped to your web space.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 Now tell whoever you want to check out

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 http://yourwebspacename/youripbbookfoldername/ That is the

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 address where your IPB now exists. If visitors type

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 that, they will immediately go full screen and be

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 browsing/reading just like yourself.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 3) It is possible that the IPB folder will be too

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 large in memory for your web space. IPB's

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 uncompressed are generally 1-10 megabytes, depending

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 on what is offered within.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 If you know HTML and are used to creating sites, you

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 can see that there are many spaces within each IPB

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 where you can set up your own "personal" space for

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 your friends, be it forums, chats or whatever you

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 can think of. Have fun with it.

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 VIII. KNOWN ISSUES

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 -------------------------------

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷锟斤拷 I wouldn't call this a "known issue", but it's true I haven't

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 tested these yet on anything other than on a win98 system. I'm not

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 sure how systems demanding MS-DOS type filenames handle my

锟斤拷锟斤拷锟� 锟斤拷 rather descriptive filenames...
