Lithomobilus Startup Launches New Ebook Platform
Though Quintana still plans to release novels that provide multiple viewpoints, the first titles released on Lithomobilus will harness the system's ability to present a network of related content. Using works that are out of copyright as a foundation, literary criticism and short stories are embedded into the parts of the text to which they relate. After reading a chapter of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, for example, a reader could easily jump into an essay dissecting the White Rabbit character. The EPUB 3-based platform uses tagging and a data schema to create a strong but flexible net that weaves these stories together.
