@Package eKatab @author Karl Holz <newaeon|a|mac|d|com> @licence LICENCE

eKatab is a PHP interface to an ePub document to allow viewing of your created ibooks, ePub and zipped files with a META-INF/container.xml file pointing to an ofp doc.

It takes 2 arguments, the ePub file and the prefix to the ePub root in no standard zip file layout.

Everything is done automatically once the classes is loaded.

  • access to your ebooks files with the URL path_info
  • All links have been fixed on the fly
  • bookmark-able links with REST-like design (GET only)
  • even works with ePub files purchased from the iTunes book Store (as long as they're not encrypted)
  • works with old o'really iPhone app books (.ipa file type), these will need to use the prefix. The ebook files are in ePub format. The prefix must contain a 'META-INF/container.xml' file or it will fail, ipa files are zips, not too hard to figure out the prefix
  • This is still a work in progress and hasn't really been touched in a few years, but it will display your ePub files in a browser.
  • The REST.class.php is still unpolished, it does the job for this package, but I plan in completing it in the future when I get the time
  • if you're an educational institution feel free to use and modify

Testing

I'm providing the RESTful_Web_Services.epub epub file for testing because it?s freely available under a Creative Commons license [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/] as part of O'Reilly's Open Book Project [http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/]

This is a link to the site here, incase you want to check it out your self:

save the books to the root of this web app and the configuration will be generated for each book, that?s the default and easy way of using this program.
