So, that rules out the eBook format for smartphones.
I'm in week two of a new job where we support a mobile version of a
web application, so I'm learning about this too. Earlier this week I
sat in on a free webinar from MadCap Software given by Neil Perlin
about going Mobile with Flare.
Even if you're using a different tool, there were some handy tips in
there about setting up your style sheet (CSS) to support viewing on a
mobile device. I've been reading up on mobile, and I thought the two
part webinar was definately worth the two hours of my time to hear
about some of the "gotchas." And did I mention that the Webinar was
FREE? (I love it when stuff is not only free, but worth more than I
paid for it!)
