Pressbooks: WordCamp Minneapolis 2013

•

1 recomendación•1,188 vistas

PressBooks launched as a SAAS offering in 2011 to facilitate the easy creation and publishing of ‘electronic first’ books (epub, mobi, etc) that can also be printed (traditionally and on demand). In February 2013, an open source version was released further democratizing the creation and publishing of ebooks and print-on-demand publishing. We’ll cover how to install PressBooks OS, pros and cons of the hosted vs. open source version, and how to publish your first book using the tool.
