The first half of this paper discusses the mechanics of ebook production at the Etext Center, the limits of the current technology, and the conversion workflow we hope to implement in the future. The second half discusses user response to our ebook collection, classroom applications of ebook technology, and the advantages and disadvantages that different formats offer to scholars and instructors in the humanities. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Computers & the Humanities is a copyright of Springer, 2003.
