Sumit, I don't want to be too pessimistic, but I think coming up with your proprietary eBook format could be a dead end avenue.
What matters for a given platform is content. How quickly will you be able to publish new interactive positions? Why not support existing multimedia ebook format(s) or publish your content as webpages, in which case the whole publishing process is much easier and your project has much smaller scope. Implementing new format is not a trivial task, when you count compatibility with previous versions of your format, which is bound to happen, as you will learn new things in the process. Where is your revenue going to come from? Device sale or content sale? Subscriptions or price per item? Answers to those questions should direct your project (I am sure they do), but it seems to me that there are 2 distinct avenues depending on the revenue source: - you intend to sell hardware in which case coming up with your format makes little sense - you want to sell multimedia ebooks, in which case, why trying to develop hardware AND your own format; there are existing multimedia formats, and it makes more sense to support something that is out there already. Standards are here for a reason. If you want to explore both avenues, you have to have a lot of weight behind you to pull it off. Likes of Sony, Amazon, Barns & Noble spring to mind... Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats ... and also have a peek at epub 3 standard: http://idpf.org/epub/30/spec/#sec-multimedia Good Luck!
