For whatever reason, this string has been my favorite message of this newsgroup, for me. The proliferation of $15 semi-interactive ebooks in the form of apps in the app store for the iphone and ipod touch is truly inspiring. So much easier to create than a game. I would really like to launch such an app, I am a total programming beginner, though I do know html and flash. I would love it if someone could help me and others make this happen fast with some good guidance, direction, instructions. Thanks.
