Sophie: The future of reading

摘要

Sophie is an all purpose tool for dealing with media. It will allow users to easily create books that can contain any sort of media on hand - text, images, sounds, videos, animations. Sophie does for media what a physical book does for text and images: with Sophie, authors can create multimedia books. You might think of it as a wrapper for anything digital. With Sophie we are tackling long standing issues as keeping documents and their media accessible for a long time (the 200 year problem) and making electronic books living documents that capture and reflect the readers' interactions and comments (the annotation problem).
