Add a fully searchable index to your eBooks

James Hale is developing a search and annotation tool for ePubs in LiveCode. It will be just like getting all your ePub books indexed even when the book doesn't have an index itself.

It uses the XML and SQLITE libraries that are part of Livecode to read in an ePub and uses the full text search capabilities of SQLITE to perform near instantaneous text searches. The screenshot shows the search panel after three words have been entered and one possible combination chosen to display.

Publish eComics


Georges Malamoud used LiveCode to author eComics (comics published as ebooks) for the iPad. Every couple of days the App fetches a new episode. 

Georges explained "This is now the fourth season : "Triste vie de bureau" for the first three seasons in Lebanon and Vietnam, and "L'Ile du B" for the current season... somewhere else. It was very easy to produce such an ebook in LiveCode with added features like sound, video and a web browser."
