Might I make the connection between Javascript/Canvas based renderings and the requirements for e.g. the new epub3 "e-book" format. This allows one to script in Jmol-like functionality into a shrink-wrapped book which should be playable (a superset of readable?) on any tablet, including Android and IOS as well as standard laptops. I am not aware that epub3 has been designed to support Java apps (but perhaps it has?). I have in mind here the considerable potential for producing (open) courseware enhanced with molecular interactivity. Rather off topic perhaps, but has anyone found any epub3 capable authoring software (Calibre, the best known epub2 system, does not yet support epub3). There are certainly commercial services offering conversion to epub3 already out there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
