Our creations can be multimedia, interactive, Web connected, and so on. Each of our e-books is different, and each is created in a different manner. We at E-dition feel that standardization is synonymous with sterilization. If you confine the creative process to a set of rules by which one must abide in order to be recognized, then it is no longer a creative process but a dull variation on a theme. 3Com's PalmOS and Windows CE are supported, and shortly, Handspring's Springboard modules will be as well.
Wordiness is arguably the biggest obstacle to clear writing and speaking.
But before we can effectively combat it, perhaps we need a better understanding of why we are so often wordy. Habit, ignorance, and imitation are among the most common reasons for our wordiness. People who write and speak wordily may do so out of habit. Habit, though human, means behaving automatically, without question or deliberation. We neither read what we write nor listen to what we say.
