What is a multimedia-book? |

Reading a traditional book, depending on its length, takes a few or several hours. A book can be inexpensive and one can read it everywhere. However, illustrated books are often expensive. A film can run 2 or 3 hours, usually watched without interruption. It can be colorful, offer information, and stir one's emotions. Film production is expensive and watching a film piece by piece, even on a home video, is often not convenient. This is why film, contrary to previous expectations, has not dominated the educational market. Audiobooks can be listened to anywhere, for example in a car, bus, or while exercising. Typical multimedia products have many attractive graphics, animation and film. However, developing multimedia products is costly and they are relatively expensive.
The multimedia-book is a harmonious combination of text, photos, film, animation, and audio, all in one document. Playing a multimedia-book can take a few hours, provided it is on a standard 650 MB CDR. Pages can be looked through manually or automatically; the latter resembles watching a film. Texts are read by a speaker and cover hyperlinks to other pages or to the database. The multimedia-book contains a notebook. You can copy texts or make your own notes which can be printed or saved to a file. Texts, graphics, film, and audio files can be quickly updated. One can export them to other applications. A multimedia-book format is an attractive tool for creating educational publications, presentations, tourist guides, handbooks, etc.
