Dear Lazyweb,<\/p>\n

I was browsing FACES<\/a> recently, and noticed that they had an e-magazine<\/a>. Nothing fancy, you have to zoom in and out to read it, making it kind of annoying on a laptop screen (the real experience will come on the 24″ or 30″ screens maybe).<\/p>\n

What annoyed me was that the software was Windows only. It seemed to only work in Internet Explorer. These jokers<\/a> make the software (Digital Magazine I believe, it is). Windows only is a silly market to be targeting – more and more Macs and Linux desktops are becoming a reality. <\/p>\n

So, what are the other open source solutions for catalogues, brochures, magazines?<\/p>\n

Flash is slow. The Ikea catalogue<\/a> is a Flash app. Windows only (with ActiveX?) is a fail. Is there some JavaScript+CSS goo that can make it all work, in-browser? Something that also makes it usable on screens that are still standard (1024×768 resolutions?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
