will each and every blog/forum inside an openreader book be accessible with a general web-browser
I've already answered, and you're ill-serving PG members by trimming out my response. The publisher could arrange for the same material to be accessible via a server. As for "each and every"--well, that's up to the publisher. But technically, it certainly would appear to be possible. I'll cc Jon in case I'm somehow wrong on a nuance. What's more, if the reader has the free reader and is using it as a plug-in, he/she could go directly to the book from the Web and, if I'm not mistaken, even reach an anchor. So why not a blog? In other words, the Web and the book converge. Remember, the goal is for the reader to reflect a STANDARD. So we're not talking about the proprietary act. Like the browser, the reader will not be limited to a proprietary format if it honors the standard.
because as far as i know, i can't put a link in this e-mail that would take the user to a comment in a thoutreader e-book. but if it can be done, then by all means, please show us.
Nice going, Bowerbird. I've already said this is a server thing re the general-purpose browser. OSoft did not set up its server that way, but that's hardly an indication it can't be done. What's more, I've already described the plug-in approach.You're extrapolating from a specific setup at a specific company--one that will change in time.

that doesn't answer the question. will each and every blog/forum inside an openreader book be accessible with a general web-browser? because as far as i know, i can't put a link in this e-mail that would take the user to a comment in a thoutreader e-book. but if it can be done, then by all means, please show us. -bowerbird On 5/22/06, Bowerbird@aol.com <Bowerbird@aol.com> wrote:
