I just really want to be able to read a book in different apps on different devices.
Given an electronic book at least I want to have a file I can copy to my eInk PocketBook (via Calibre or by just copying a file manually). My wife would like me to send her the file she would read in iBooks on her iPad. And would probably also like to open it on my Android phone to read it in an app that implements Spritz-like speed-reading technique.
- sonicaa 8y agoSpritz won't work for books with illustrations. It's a complete no-go for photo-books and children's books, for example.

By the way, there is another speed-reading aid technique which can fit children books - beeline (gradient-coluored text). But I'm not sure how can it affect children learning to read.

In general, I'd want to optimize for attention span when it comes to kids--Bubblin helps with that. Most importantly, kids are already on the iPad, so it makes sense to go take it where they are. Thank you for sharing the beeline technique. We can probably provide it as one of the layout template options! :-)
