Inkling

A friend passed along a link to Inkling, which appears to be a start-up producing a publishing platform that runs on the iPhone and iPad. Details are a bit sparse at the moment, particularly about how the publishing actually works.

There's a lot of general boilerplate about what they are doing, but no real specific details about how it will be accomplished. It's impossible to know where they are in the development process.

Inkling makes it easy to bring rich, interactive learning content to tablet devices like iPad. Inkling engages students and provides authors and publishers with an exciting new way to bring content to market. It’s more than just the best digital textbook experience ever. It’s the best learning experience ever.
