there's a difference in online viewing and ebook. ebook format is a specific type of thing - the ability to display the file on a physical ebook reader device<div><br></div><div>it sounds like your looking for is something like;</div>

<div><br></div><div>Note but of these are flash based and won't work on a physical ebook reader</div><div><br></div><div>as for selling it - you'd probably need some kind of user based shopping cart on the site so that they buy a subscription which then allows access to the page with the book thing in it.

</div>Good question, I think the latter is what I was actually after. I'm very<br>
new to ebooks but I have had a query from my association council and I'm<br>
trying to find out as much as I can.<br>
<br>
I think the idea is to have a pdf of our quarterly journal loaded up to<br>
our website and make it available for on-line viewing with flashy<br>
animated page-turning software.<br>
<br>
But all suggestions received so far have been useful. For instance, I<br>
didn't know that ebooks could read pdf. We produce our journal in pdf<br>
format for the printer so the advice from KLUG has taken me a few more<br>
steps.<br>
<br>
Thanks be to all.<br>
