(2020-11-03) Dellanna Roam Native Books Creating A New Publishing Format

Luca Dellanna: Roam-native ebooks: Creating a new publishing format. I have just published the first Roam-native book, or “rBook” for short. Its title is Ergodicity, and in addition to the traditional ebook formats of pdf, ePub and mobi, it is also available in Roam json format. See Wiki-Ebook.

I did it because I enjoy exploring new ideas non-linearly on the internet, and I wanted to do the same with books. Readers should be able to jump between concepts, go deep on what interests them, and skim through the rest. They should be able to take notes, and their notes should become an organic part of the text

Because information in a rBook is structured into concept pages, it can neatly integrate into your pre-existing graph.
