Over time as the reflowable format matures, we will be able to
do more interactive things with it that we’ve only been dreaming
about so far. Adobe’s PDF standard is intended primarily as a static
print format, and so it doesn’t have the interactive capabilities
we’d like to use for our model railroad how-to publishing.
We’ll still offer the PDF formats (Landscape and Portrait) for as
long as they’re popular. Once the reflowable format matures
and gets more powerful interactive features, we expect our
readers will increasingly feel the PDF format is “too static and
too limiting”.
For now, the main thing is the completely updated look. We
also encourage you to explore the reflowable format, if you’re
interested. It is experimental for now while we try out its capa-
bilities and wait on the content creation tools for ePub3 reflow-
able to mature.
