Peter Rabbit Newtonbook
Original Version By Beatrix Potter
This Newtonbook was created by scanning every page of The Tale of Peter
Rabbit and tweaking every single picture until the book was complete.
Needless
to say, this book took a long time to produce and was fairly hard work,
because I used Newton Press to make it instead of NTK or Newt's Cape. I
didn't know how to do the fine-tuning on the images and text in HTML so
I bit the bullet and used Press, which isn't terribly stable. Thank God
for OS X. Anyway, in
spite of the obstacles, it was a fun project and I hope you enjoy
reading it as much as I did making it. I am a big fan of Beatrix Potter
and I know there is at least one other Newton user out there who is as
well.
Also included: Peter Rabbit picture for
Avi's Backdrop
Now for some technical info:
This book is sized for an MP2X00 screen, landscape, 2-up. It is
viewable in portrait mode, but only one page at a time. I'm pretty sure
the graphics are not compatible with NOS's prior to 2.1. However, some
graphics in books are viewable under NOS 2.0; I don't think this book
is one of them.
