How Rich Stevens Used iBooks Author to Build a 3300-Page Webcomic Ebook

摘要

To celebrate the 3000-strip anniversary of his webcomic Diesel Sweeties, cartoonist Rich Stevens decided to construct a 3300-page ebook using Apple's iBooks Author. I asked Stevens about building ebooks, the beauty of the PowerBook 190cs, and the future of Apple touchscreen desktops. Q: So, your first Mac... A: Heh, which one? My first Apple was a Ilgs that my mom got us when I was a kid. My first real Mac was a used SE I bought in high school. The first computer in my unbroken chain of Photo-shopping Macs was a PowerBook 190cs that I got in college. I worked as a mailman the summer after my freshman year and bought it on clearance with the money. It had 8 megs of RAM! I could run QuarkXPress. And email.
