  • Famous Paintings (Fixed Layout)
    Focus: Sophisticated ePub3 Fixed Layout navigation and content interaction. Optimized for 16:9/16:10 aspect ratio monitors.
    Famous paintings is a small (but beautiful) demonstration fixed layout book. It's purpose is to demonstrate how ePub3 fixed layout image-centric books can be designed to deliver new content engagement experiences. It uses fixed layout to break paper metaphors with digital content reading.
    It will work on all ePub3 readers but because it uses asymmetrical page layout and spine linear properties will not display as intended on reading systems with a partial or inflexible implementation of the fixed layout specification.

  • The War Poems of Siegfried Sassoon (Reflowable)
    Siegfried Sassoon is a significant and famous war poet from the Great War. War poet was a description he did not particularly like.
    As an officer in World War I, he was wounded and lauded twice with medals for bravery. His poetry—at times violent, always truthful—used forceful, realistic verse to express his conviction of the stupid brutality and waste of war.

  • Don Quijote (Reflowable)
    A Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often employs a unique, earthly wit in dealing with Don Quixote's rhetorical orations on antiquated knighthood.
    Don Quixote is met by the world as it is, initiating such themes as intertextuality, realism, metatheatre, and literary representation.
