A web development system for producing an interactive electronic book

Abstract

In light of technological advances and the massive amount of published information available (including both reliable, accurate information and much that is not accurate), researchers need to be able to go back to original books and research published in scientific journals. This would be much easier if there were an interactive system to facilitate communication between readers and researchers. Many times, while reading a book or research study, we have needed to ask about ambiguous points, but we had no fast means of interacting with the author or other readers. Nowadays, there are many e-books and interactive communications across sites and smartphone programs, but all of them are poor with regard to communication among the readers of those books. We have worked to create a new way to benefit from communication. Our system can create truly interactive e-books that can answer queries through the use of a chat program that integrates with every book. This allows an author to publish his or her books as well as a publishing house could, and it also provides a source of information that makes inquiries easy. The person who answers the questions (the author) is a trustworthy source. The site also provides a set of exercises at the end of each book for the user to answer and test his or her understanding of the book. In addition, the website offers a chance for readers to evaluate each book, in order to enable sorting by quality and to gather the best suggestions from users. We are working to ensure the ability to form an electronic interactive library that has the largest number of e-books and is an excellent reference for readers and researchers. We found that our project can give readers many advantages over other programs, that makes information exchange easier because it allows for communication among the readers of the books. As a result, it saves much of the reader’s time that would be spent searching for information.
