Conclusions
Here I’d like to list a few thoughts emerged during the workshop. First of all, we realized that Calibre’s “Edit Book” function is a great tool for quickly prototyping ideas as EPUB files, thanks to its advanced WYSIWYG editor with syntax highlight and the possibility to directly replace images and other files.
The development of a respectful but meaningful translation of the Medium is the Massage for mobile phones led us to a deep and somehow original reading of the book, focused on the design-strategies employed – one might say the effects the authors speak about, and their results. In this sense, EPUB conversion can be seen as a sort of pragmatic exegesis, a peculiar modality for reading books.
