"Unleashing the killer app" is an ebook in which business people are given advice and information about business and IT merge and how businesses can lauch products successfully. The structure of the ebook is that of an actual book - it is set with paragraphs on pages, divided by chapters. An advantage of using it this way is that the users are already familiar with this format and find it easy to read and also to move to different parts of the book through the chapters. The ebook is very well navigated, having arrow buttons at the top of the page in order to allow the user to 'turn' the page. It also has hyperlinks on the contents page to ensure ease of access to certain areas of the book. For example, taking the user to "Part One", "Part Two" or "Part Three". There are further sub-divisions in this that take the user to certain chapters. There is an additional drop down list at the top of the page, in which the contents page hyperlinks are displayed again for ease of access when actually looking through the book (you don't have to scroll all the way back up to the top.) The ebook has several advantages and disadvantages. A major advantage of this ebook is the format - it is a HTML document using CSS - this allows a wide variety of users to read it as it can be displayed on any web browser and many different platforms (Windows, Macintoch, Linux, Palm and Pocket PC) as no specialised software is needed to upload or view the ebook. However, it is very important for a great amount of care to be taken when using HTML documents with CSS as often messy and poorly designed ebooks are created because of the flexibility of it.
