Hi, The IA Book Reader doesn't need an image server to be installed. It will load images pre-generated at different sizes (e.g. small, medium, large) that just sit on your server. I think this is how the demo supplied with the distribution works. It can optionally be made to work with an image serv

Hi, Nathan. I haven't yet managed to get it installed, but Multivio [1] looks promising. For image viewing, PanoJS [2] is pretty cool, though I'm a bit wary of the "piles of tiles" approach. Would be more comfortable integrating PanoJS with something like Multivio. Would love to hear about similar
