It's not so simple. I have several "interactive book" applications on my iPhone. These have book-like elements (there is a story that can be read), but there are many other application-like elements to it also (you can touch things to hear noises, there are supplementary puzzles and coloring pages, the book can read to you, and I bought it on the app store). Where do these fall?
Clearly my application is not just a collection of html and js. But at what point do you stop calling something an application and call it an ebook? Is a binary wrapper around the ebook enough to make it an application?
- larrik 14y agoI'd call that an app that is ebook-like in some ways. Maybe if they made it a platform that third parties can make content for that drops into the app without further programming, then those files may possibly be considered ebooks. Probably still not, though.
