The electronic book (e-book) format and related online stores have developed recently as a new platform for publishing and distributing educational books. In 1993, the earliest implementation of the electronic “book” format was the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) that is still used educationally to distribute Powerpoint slides or Word documents to students. In 2007, the Amazon Kindle and store was introduced as a platform for distributing and reading proprietary formatted e-books. Readers for this format are now available on many platforms and require publishing through the Amazon store. In the same year, an alternate EPUB format became an official standard of the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) used on iBooks on iOS and Google Books on Android. In 2010, Apple iBooks was released and in 2013 became compatible with all Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, laptop and desktop) and can also be exported as PDF. These e-books are prepared with (free) iBooks Author software that allows import of several existing document formats, and can be published freely on iTunes store. | The electronic book (e-book) [[#Compatibility ebook Platform/Format|format]] and related online stores have developed recently as a new platform for publishing and distributing educational books. | ||

Abstract
History of e-books
The electronic book (e-book) format and related online stores have developed recently as a new platform for publishing and distributing educational books.
- In 1993, the earliest implementation of the electronic “book” format was the Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) that is still used educationally to distribute Powerpoint slides or Word documents to students.
- In 2007, the Amazon Kindle and store was introduced as a platform for distributing and reading proprietary formatted e-books. Readers for this format are now available on many platforms and require publishing through the Amazon store. In the same year, an alternate EPUB format became an official standard of the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) used on iBooks on iOS and Google Books on Android.
- In 2010, Apple iBooks was released and in 2013 became compatible with all Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, laptop and desktop) and can also be exported as PDF. These e-books are prepared with (free) iBooks Author software that allows import of several existing document formats, and can be published freely on iTunes store.

How to use iBook interactive images |
This Embryology e-book the Kyoto Embryo Collection[1] allows students to independently develop an introductory understanding of the changes occurring in the human embryo during the first trimester. The book is structured in chapters as a timeline from week 3 to 8 (gestational week 5 to 10), with each stage describing both structures and events.
|
<html5media height="400" width="300">File:Stage 13 EFIC_S02.mp4</html5media> Example - Week 5 Embryo (sagittal plane) |
The final section to each chapter is the most interactive, as it includes movies of embryo high resolution MRI scans and episcopic fluorescent image capture (EFIC) reconstructions. Both unlabeled and labeled movie versions are available, including excerpts covering key embryonic events such as cardiac septation. <html5media height="300" width="300">File:Stage 13 MRI_S02.mp4</html5media> Example - Week 5 Cardiac Septation |
