The Kindle 3 Parody: CollegeHumor.com Takes A Stab At Video eBooks
eBook readers are making big news in the publishing industry and in businesses of all types around the globe. Organizations small and large are realizing that in addition to the products and services they offer for sale, they are also publishers. As a result of this realization, we expect to see all sorts of business-critical content released in a format that can be viewed on eBook readers and other devices (smart phones, netbooks, laptops, etc.)
One of the most common eBook formats is PDF, which provides much more functionality than many people realize. Today, PDF supports 3D graphics, audio, video and much more. When you combine this functionality with the popularity of video content (think YouTube) and support for the most common eBook specification — .epub — it’s easy to see why many organizations will provide how-to instructional video content in a PDF eBook format. After all, some types of content are just more useful when they are presented in video and are available on any device type that supports PDF and/or .epub.
