  • Limitations of ePub in this book

    By ttpilot
    I have the paperback version of this book. Like a few other translated volumes, it makes use of the original text on the left page and the translation on the right. This is a great format if you are interested in working through the original. I bought this ePub version out of curiosity, to see how iBooks would handle the dual texts. It solves it by printing a verse or two in the original followed by the modern text. While it works to a degree, the reader must flip back and forth a lot. This is a shortcoming of ebook formats such as ePub: they're not designed with any sort of layout but instead are designed to flow like a web page (which is essentially what they are). I guess I'll have to stick to the hardcopy versions for this type of book. Maybe they'll develop a two-column format for ePub some day.
