Create interactive ebooks,apps with Xara

[luciandesign]

Hello everyone,
I'm exploring the idea to build an addon for Xara Designer that will allow the creation of Interactive Children Books in Xara.
I want to ask here if there is any interest for this kind of addon.

It would be something like https://www.pubcoder.com but directly in Xara ... similar in concept with http://kwiksher.com

You would be able to export to Android or ePub.

Do you do(create) interactive books in general? Do you own a software that do this?

I for one would be very interested. I am going to move this to Xara Web Design Chat where I think you will get more response.

Thanks Gary. Let's see if there is some interest on this.

As an Book-/Typesetter old school, using other software to cretae E-Eooks, I'm interesting too. If it's possible get the horrible HTML-Code from Xara to a E-Book without going strange ways I'll welcome and honor You solution.

I would be very interested too. I've been looking at http://fliphtml5.com/ which takes a pdf and turns it into a flipping book/magazine all done in html 5 I've experimented with some pdfs created in Designer Pro http://fliphtml5.com/homepage/nsll

If something like this could be done directly from with in Xara it would be wonderful!

I really like the idea of a flip book layout also. I have been checking a few out but most still use flash.

As far as interactive E-books it makes me think of kids apps for a story book to be used on an I-Pad. Not sure how much I would need this type of feature in the projects I do. I could see this being used by a designer to offer as a product for making a family's book of memories or to make a kids story using their name and story about the family. You see sites offer the picture books for families and kids story books.

I'm thinking of using something like this for tutorial books, small weekly publications, and as a means to create photography books for example a wedding album. The html5 one that I have been looking at is done with all HTML HTML 5, no flash and I have tested the free version on windows PC and android and it works great the only issue for me is its expensive. So if you can create something that gives this kind of functionality for an affordable price and it would work from with in Xara it would be quite useful.

I LOVE this idea. I can't wait to know more.

Any decisions on whether or not you might go ahead with this?

I'm moving this thread to Dear Xara since it is also a feature request.
