The MapleReader has been the source of a bit of confusion on MaplePrimes lately. Hopefully with this post, we can help clear up some of the questions that have come up about it. The MapleReader is, as Scott03 mentioned in his response during a separate thread, an extension of Maple 11 that allows an eBook file format called an 'mbook' to be read. A number of authors are currently in the process of converting their content to an mbook file format, to be distributed independently of Maple. The reason why it was included in Maple 11.01 is to allow our authors access to it and it's updates for authoring purposes. Examples of existing eBooks that are sold by Maplesoft include Advanced Engineering Mathematics, the Calculus and Pre-Calculus Study Guides and The Mathematics Survival Kit. These are examples of the type of content that the MapleReader will eventually be able to support, once they are converted to the mbook file format. It was also suggested by a MaplePrimes member that we ship some supplemental information on the MapleReader, and I agree, that would be useful. I will suggest some extra documentation for upcoming releases, and look into posting some more information soon. If you have your own content that you would like to convert to an mbook format, please contact Maplesoft. Cheers,
