TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We're looking at Acrobat for e-books and have been impressed so far.
Problems seem to be that it won't be on UNIX-based systems until the end of
the year, it can't handle sound and video (yet), and re-draw could be
considered slow by some viewers, but I wasn't bothered.
It's unreasonable to think that everyone should use the same package to
produce e-books (see the debate on Frame/Interleaf/PageMaker), but we've
needed a standard for viewing and this could be it -- especially with the
hyperlink (now), sound, and video (later) capabilities on top of it.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone about their Acrobat experience. I'll
post our info when we get going here.
